In the user object, it should also include the user's ip #58

your storing the hostname already might as well as store the ip

Can't, there are many times where the hostname is wrong (hostname masking, tor, 
etc). This makes any bot dependent on the IP address unreliable. If you really 
need the IP information, try InetAddress.getByName(user.getHostmask());

Also keep in mind that the server is the only one that knows the users true IP 
address. If you ban/exempt/etc a user by hostmask, the server will convert that 
into an IP address.
