Dear group -

I've had something odd happening recently. There are top level IP address bans ending up in my ban list. So something like 123.% is an entry, which of course ends up banning a lot of legitimate users.

In the past I'd manually added items into there, when we had a repeated issue with a hacker, but now it seems that numbers are getting in there on their own. Is this the stop forum spam hook-in doing this? Or is something else causing this?
