 * “Immediately block the IP of users who try to sign in as ‘x’ usernames”
 * where ‘x’ could be admin, administrator and other common hacker words..
 * Thanks!

 * There is code in there that will black mark visitors who attempt to login with
   a username that doesn’t exist on the site. It is currently inactive, but I may
   reactivate it at a later date with further testing.
 * Thanks.
