We run 6.4 I want to ban IP 64.185.159.61 But to make sure I banned 64.185.159.% But still I get registrations from 64.185.159.61 Is this a bug? (By the way, I now check all new registrations manually, but that's time consuming...)

Thanks!

IP bans only stop them from posting.

IMO, IP bans should prevent a user from accessing the board period, not just posting. that's pretty half-ass.

Checking IP bans on each access would result in incredibly high load. It isn't practical. It can be done at the server level, which is much more effecient.
