The ban module keeps a list of bans in four categories:
- Email bans: this type of ban specifies which email addresses will be rejected when registering new users. Can be used to prevent users from using a free email account (e.g. userid@hotmail.com).
- Profanity bans: under construction
- Hostname bans: this type of ban allows you to block certain hostnames from access to your site or from registering as a new user.
- Username bans: this ban will block certain usernames from registration. Typical examples include admin, anonymous, root, webmaster, etc.
The ban module allows you to use a flexible wild-card ban system. This means you can block all email addresses from a certain domain name, block every username starting with "guest", etc. To do this, use the following wild-card characters:
- % : matches any number of characters, including zero characters.
- _ : matches exactly one character.
Examples:
- Email address bans
%@hotmail.com, %@altavista.%, %@usa.net, etc. Used to prevent users from using free email accounts, which might be used to cause trouble.
- Username bans
root, webmaster, admin%, etc. Used to prevent administrator impersonators.
