There's nothing in system settings...this is meant as a custom section. I brought this up before but we never came to an agreement on it. I want to do something similar to how previously we had the admin_panels on admin.php where if the user created the file, the stuff was held within that spot, we could do that with system_settings, if the file exists, show the button, and include the contents within the modal.
I see the benefit of doing mass-ip checks for if the admin wants to ban a known bad IP address from their entire site...but I also don't want bans to occur from excessive user of other pages.
Bans should occur from:
-login.php
-join.php
-forgot_password.php
---any other page related to an un-logged in user
-a spot in the admin panel
With the ban, we can also setup a "request unban" button that sends a message to the main admin (which we can define on our ban admin page - or anyone within the admin group) requesting they be unbanned.
