Hey,
The internet is wide open and shared endpoints abound.
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.
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.
You can block hypergrids by adding the address back to the grid they
originated from in the regions access.
The real solution would be able to block the action that cause the
grief and not the user.
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.

The subject of griefers came up in a recent conversation. One thing
that none of us knows is how to ban them from an entire grid.
So, how DO you ban someone from a grid?
