wildcard block list
-
Can wildcards be set on the username that will be blocked?
Bots come more and more often and try to register and then try to log in.
The name is usually botXXXXXX with random letters.
A block on bot* or bot?? (two letters) would be great

Great plugin, WPChef, and truly appreciate that it is offered free of charge. I wondered however whether you might offer some clarity on some of your instructions.
For the Blocklist you say: “One IP or IP range (1.2.3.4-5.6.7.8) per line”
Perhaps this is meaningful to most, but I am perplexed by what exactly you are instructing the user to do. You clarified above that using a wildcard (*) is not available in the free version. OK.
Attempting to use a format of 203.113.20.1-255 (for example; IPv4) gives an error message.
So, in place of the above, you are presumably instructing the user to enter: 203.113.20.1-2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19.20.21.22.23.24.25.26.27.28.29.30.31.32.33.34.35.36.37.38.39.40.41.42.43.44.45.46.47.48.49.50.51.52.53.54.55.56.57.58.59.60.61.62.63.64.65.66.67.68.69.70.71.72.73.74.75.76.77.78.79.80.81.82.83.84.85.86.87.88.89.90.91.92.93.94.95.96.97.98.99.100. et cetera, all the way to the top of the range.
Is this correct?
