I'm not sure if the ban functionality is handled by watchdog.module, or by statistics.module, but I'd like for a ban link to be next to the ip address on the error message page at admin/logs/event/*.

One reason is that I think I've got a spider searching my site for some software that should remain private, such as phpmyadmin. Whenever I go to statistics->recent hits, if a page isn't found, the directory is just '/', so I can't tell where the address of the actual hit was. This may be a bug itself, not sure though.

This may be better as a contrib feature. I think most poeple ignore random spider hits instead of banning them.

Closing due to inactivity, and as noted above, this can be done in contrib if need be.
