# PLUGIN NOT WORKING

 * I have a guy leaving 900+ line comments and added his IP, with * at the end. 
   Did not work. I added his exact IP, but he might have changed it. So, I added
   a range. It still doesn’t work and he’s leaving these gigantic comments every
   couple hours or so.
 * Is there a particular syntax I need to use. Is there a wildcard like % that I’m
   unaware of? Also, is there a way for me to test the redirect, but then delete
   the IP I’m using so I can still get to the site? 🙂
 * Thanks for any help or advice!

 * Hello,
 * You can add only IP range, the plugin doesn’t support IP with * at the end.
 * Banning Ip Range Examples:
 * Ex1: 71.12.23.1-71.12.23.255
    Ex2: 71.12.1.1-71.12.255.255 Ex3: 71.1.1.1-71.255.255.255
 * Best Regards,
    Sandor
