GoAway - README.txt

Description
-----------
GoAway is a dirt-simple, light-weight "Ban By IP" module for Drupal 6. It works by redirecting offending anonymous users to a page or URL specified by the admin. The module possesses the following features:

- Separate permissions for (1) settings, (2) banning, and (3) unbanning
- Either a local page or a remote URL may be used as the redirect destination
- Adds display of IP address to anonymous comments for easy tracking & copying
(only displayed to users with 'ban' permission)

Installation
------------
To install the module:

1. Extract the tarball into your sites/all/modules directory.

2. Enable the module from admin/build/modules

3. Enter your desired redirect destination at admin/settings/goaway

Once the module is enabled, you will see IP addresses listed in all anonymous comments.

Use
---
To ban an anonymous user, copy their IP address from their comment and paste it into the textfield at admin/user/goaway

Previously-banned IP addresses may also be unbanned on this page.
