	single: Setup; IP banning

*toctoc_comments*  uses a local ban list and a static ban list for preventing IPs for commenting.

In the backend you find 2 corresponding tables, the static ban list already pre-filled with data
from spamhaus.org and a local ban list for additional IPs or Subnets you like to ban from commenting

(Local IP blocking list for toctoc_comments)

In both lists there are individual IPs possible and IPs with subnetmask.
