It is pretty straightforward, blocks users. Seems to do what it says so far. Minus 1 star for a bit of a confusing dashboard.

ONLY WORKS WITH USERS ALREADY REGISTERED ON YOUR WEBSITE, you cannot block spam. If you want to block spammers you FIRST NEED TO ADD THEM AS USER, you cannot just add a list of users to block IF THEY WANT TO VISIT OR BUY ON YOUR WEBSITE in the future. But thank you for the great plugin ! SHOULD BE CHANGED: VERY BIG AND ANNOYING PANEL ON DASHBOARD MAIN PAGE, HOW TO DELETE IT PLEASE ?
