Save last IP ban expiry duration

A quick question to clarify something please:

I am wondering if I am understanding this checkbox setting correctly.

"Save last IP ban expiry duration
Change default expiry duration after each IP ban. "

Does this mean that if a ip is already banned, for say a week (default) - and that week is almost over, that when they repeat offend they get banned for a week again (the ban automatically updates to the default week duration with each offense)? And so, if this ISN'T checked, and they repeat offend within that original default week, then the original week ban remains and is not updated?

Or does a week get added onto the original time?

Thank you.

    Hello,
    the checkbox "Save last IP ban expiry duration" affects to the default expiry duration only.

    Case, when the checkbox is disabled.

    • You set default expiry duration as "1 day"
    • You ban a few IPs and set "1 week" duration (not default value) and need to change the expiry value from default one
    • If you don't want to do the changing every time you need to go to the Settings Form, change default expiry duration value to "1 week"

    The checkbox automates the work. If the checkbox is enabled the default expiry duration will be changed automatically and you can do IP ban series without changing the default expiry duration value at the Settings Form.
