   Hm. Interesting. I wonder how you would add "banning abusers by IP" functionality to it though — you first need to identify the abuse somehow and then link it to the originating IP (or any other kind of identifier)...

      You already can't do that since the abuser will just buy residential proxies.

         Banning a couple of faraway datacenters by ASN (and thus IP address) took out like >80% of the bot traffic to a site I help. They won't "just".
