>Its forum 6271. Could you fix it?

You have weird entries like: /something\\
In a regex the \\ is used to make the following character special (or unspecial) -- actually referred as "MAGIC" and "NOMAGIC". In this case, putting a backslash as the last character may cause confusion.

Aside from that, right before that /regex you have the same string, "something", as a normal match. So having the regex there is redundant.

Also, if you put *.foo.bar, that will match blah.blah.foo.bar as well, so you don't need to enter in:

blah.blah.foo.bar *.foo.bar

There are other items also, because the comparisons compare to the IP address and to the hostname, your usage of:
"NO HOSTNAME/127.0.0.1" is useless -- it won't match anything.

Instead, just use the IP address as the match alone:
127.0.0.1

You seem to be using /regexes where they are unneeded. The only entry which you actually used the capabilities of a regex is the one: /^foobar
(meaning to match "foobar" at the beginning of the hostname).

I emailed you a copy of your original banlist and the corrections, and placed the corrected version in your forum.

Your forum is working now. :)

Sincerely,
Brandon
