There's a wide range of server capabilities that can be implemented
in addition to an on/off for a given ip or ip mask.
You could disable character creation on demand from a given site/site
mask allowing existing characters to continue to play. You could
require manual approval from selected sites. One could implement a
system like Coldcore where players receive a password automatically
via email. Another words the can't play without giving you a valid
email address. This gives you a little bit of leverage for major
repeat offenders since you have a chance to let their postmaster/site
admins deal with them.
