While you're right that a Permanent IP ban on top of an IP block in the htaccess seems redundant, many admins don't use or don't have access to htaccess for IP blocking. Again: this is what I've pieced together: user admin at IP beginning with 176 IP-banned someone with the same IP address. Therefore the admin got IP banned. This is a known hazard. Because the admin got IP banned and started throwing errors to the errorlog in a way that mimicked a bad bot trying to break into YaBB, that IP got autoblocked in htaccess. And changing the exit routine for the IP banning from Profiles as you suggest will cause major issues for the Forum Moderator who does not have access to the Admin Center and does not solve the actual issue: you IP banned yourself. The admins I've known that have accidentally banned themselves (and it does happen) have either logged in from a different IP and unbanned themselves it or contacted the YaBBForum administrators and asked one of us to log in and unban them. Not one of those admins triggered the autoblock by flooding the errorlog with errors while IP banned. I may, when I have time, put together some code to check IP bans against the admin's IP list. But then, you're probably the first in YaBB's long history to get autoblocked by the errorlog protections after IP banning yourself. So, no, not going to try to fix a 'bug' that that doesn't exist but does reveal you do a good emulation of a bot. Perfection is not possible. Excellence, however, is excellent. WWW IP Logged

There are 3 separate ban sections - one for user names, one for e-mail addresses, and one IP addresses. Banning an user name does not ban the IP address that user used or their e-mail address. Banning an e-mail address does not ban the user name or the IP address. Banning an IP address does not ban any user names or e-mail addresses. Banning a user name, e-mail address, or IP address does not make changes to Guardian or htaccess files. Deleting a member does not affect what bans are in place, nor does it make changes to Guardian or htaccess files. Therefore: while you claim a user name was being banned, that cannot have banned their IP address UNLESS SOMEBODY CHANGED THE CODE IN THE BANNING SECTON. And if that happened, that's not YaBB's fault nor is it a bug within YaBB. All other problems you reported, including the changes in Guardian and the htaccess file, came from banning that IP address.

I would like it so that there was no problem but it is-priage on the output of the home computer of my computer time and got into the ban because it was banned by the login forever the user whom I created with my ip from the admin panel is a problem of assembly and code just like you would not deny it IP Logged

But now it's MY fault because YaBB can't anticipate people doing dumb things? Over the many years YaBB has been around, other admins have IP banned themselves but, to my knowledge, you're the first one to not only IP ban yourself but trigger the IP blocker in the errorlog. And this is not once but repeatedly. DON'T BAN YOUR OWN IP ADDRESS Perfection is not possible. Excellence, however, is excellent. WWW IP Logged
