Description

One of the main features to integrate into Commento++ is the capture of members' IP addresses, and the ban by IP address of any member who writes a comment. If there is a solution to do it, I'm a taker.

Research direction
The issue requests a feature to capture IP addresses of members and ban by IP. The implementation likely involves modifying the backend (Go) to log IPs on comment creation and add an admin ban endpoint. Check the existing comment model and database schema for user fields. Look for any IP related fields or middleware. The repository's main language is Go, so focus on the backend code.
