+# How to ban an IP address?
+
+There is a way to ban ikiwiki users, but how to ban an IP address?
+For example if a bitchy anonymous is bombing our poll. I can use
+only Apache/iptables rules for this? Maybe it's related to
+[[ACL|todo/ACL]] request? --[[Paweł|ptecza]]
+
+> Well, the polls are not something I would worry about much. I do plan to

+> there's a demonstrated need. --[[Joey]]

+>> Heh, do you really want a lot of spam of me? ;)
