Build a variable with a tilda (~) delimited (for easy viewing) list of
banned IP's
<CFSET ipList = "127.3.3.1~214.218.6.33~64.99.127.3">
Then,
<CFIF ListFind(ipList, CGI.REMOTE.ADDR, "~")>
Your have been banned from this list!
<CFABORT>
<CFELSE>
</CFIF>

Hello everyone,
I have a site with a simple forum. A situation has developed
where I need to ban a few users from posting.
Since this was never intended for much, there is no sign in
feature to establish users so I'm just going to deny their
IP's. It is working fine, lucky for me they seem to have
static IP addresses and don't know enough to get around
this.
But, is there a more elegant way of achieving the following:
(ips masked to protect the guilty)
<CFIF cgi.remote_addr is "66.xx.xx.xx" or cgi.remote_addr is
"66.xx.xx.xx" or cgi.remote_addr is "24.xx.xx.xx" or
cgi.remote_addr is "198.xx.xx.xx">
If I had to ban many users, this could get messy!
Best regards,
