Interesting, didn't know about that feature, but, oh, I just generally 
ban for a whole week regardless, yes, I realise that a typo might  set 
it off for a actual user, but I have other methods of entry to unban if 
that happens, and we have a number of whitelisted IPs that cover most 
things like that for most use cases, and a VPN within the whitelist that 
can be used if the public services get locked out.
