<br>
The internet is wide open and shared endpoints abound. <br>
<br>
For the short term you can block the IP subnet through your
firewall. But this only good for a short time depending on how
persistence the grifer is. Most will give up after checking few
subnets that most users can get on. But using his mehoid will
block other people and could cause issues if you have people from
from the network. Like a dorm or similar location. <br>
<br>
Block the Mac address is useful most of the time. It easy to
change but most ISP track dynamic connections by the router/modem
Mac address and not IP. But this can be changed almost as easy as
the IP is. Most griefer will not bother with the trouble tho. <br>
<br>
You can block hypergrids by adding the address back to the grid
they originated from in the regions access. <br>
<br>
The real solution would be able to block the action that cause
the grief and not the user. <br>
<br>
Opensim has some basic issues with security that does need to
resolved. For example, If someone wanted to they could hook a sim
to your grid and you would have to physically block them after the
fact. The only solution was don't make your setting publicly
available. <br>

So, how DO you ban someone from a grid?<br>
