[hibernate-dev] IP banned from forum

[Vlad Mihalcea]

Hi Gunnar,

I added an IP ban on a Class A private address that generated tens of span
in the last two days.
I thought that most users will use the actual domain IP, but it looks like
this is not the case with phpBB.
I'll remove that and it will work for you.
