Limit wildcarding of permban
Disallow the use of * .* .* .* or #. * . * .*
Because: It's a dick move if you actually did that, and it's utterly pointless, and I would like it if it was blocked.
Unfortunately that just is a stupid idea since not many admins have permission to that and it wouldn't be abused even if you tried to.
I'd like to bump this. I don't think range banning is at all effective, we've seen it first hand on the server. Especially not at this scale. I'd like to disable any more than the final octave being able to be wildcarded, so 192...* would no longer work, but 192.168.1.* would work. Opinions?
@Wild1145 I have the exact same ideas. This study shows that a significant fraction of IP addresses are indeed dynamic, so the functionality should not be removed altogether. However, blocking two octets of IP addresses would block a significant 65,536 IP addresses, which is too much, in my opinion.
