another thing I would suggest is something to indicate what BlockandNuke is doing. I have it running for great lengths of time and all it says is Banning I know works only when I check the blocked users list & see that BlockandNuke is responsible for a lot of them. Just would like to know how long the process has to run to complete the job while it is doing it. maybe a bar or timer, or something.
