Well, from a Systems Administrators point-of-view, I would ban that specific
address from either the machine or the router. If they come in through
multiple addresses, you might be out of luck. Most sys admins like myself
couldn't care less what troubles a mud has unless it affects the performance
of the machine or network. As far as his administrator goes, he might ignore
any complaint you issue. I would suggest either banning him from the
machine/router or just ignoring him till he gives up. Run a traceroute to
find his specific address.
