SuperRaWR,

You are to be commended for this.

The whitelist is very good for advertising a community's server IP's in case of a community of friendly / allowed IP event, but the premise behind blocking player stealing is very good, and well done on this effort.

Can any function be built into this plugin, that might circumvent certain strings of IP and various ways that offenders might try to bypass the usual IP string .. i.e. instead of say 203.21.345.117, what if they used underscore or star symbol etc so it might look like 203_21_345_117 or 203*21*345*117 ... you get the idea?

It's just a thought, because minges will always try to circumvent security, and if something could be built into this plugin that would contain or allow the server Admin to select strings or combinations of an IP that could possibly be imagined, or respond to any IP string seen in server to bypass this, it could be then included in a blacklist of designs for IP addresses?

Just some food for thought on what possibilities might be built into a very good first effort for a plugin.
