Ok I'll try that, but to be honest I have no idea how to do that, I'm only just learning C++, and also I've been using it for a while so the DB is already...

I see that @jerk can deny access on the basis of IP addresses and address ranges. There seems no dedicated documentation on @jerk on glow's command listing...
Generally, the old fuzzball goodie of @bansite works best for that. You can
