I have an idea to automatically add an IP to the troll ip banning if they go to a specific url. Is there a way to do this currently?

There isn't a way to do this currently, but it could certainly be done. In fact, I'd recommend that one be EXTREMELY careful with this. If, for example, you ran "http://example.com", you might be tempted to have a URL like "http://example.com/troll/insta-block" that would instantly block the user's IP. That could easily work. Maybe you would do it so that spam bots couldn't play with your site. Here's the problem though: what happens if we have a malicious user? If they want to block "Bob" from the site, they could send him an HTML email with Only local images are allowed. in it. This would cause Bob's computer to make a request to that URL even though he didn't realize he was being setup. This would effectively provide a way for an malicious user to block anyone (including you) from the site.
