Glad that you got the site up. It must have been a scare!

$CFG->allowedip=''; should have done the same. I don't know whether Allowed list will be processed first (allowbeforeblock) interfered. Maybe worth moving the discussion to the General help for somebody there have a look.

Yeah, verbiage is always thing. https://docs.moodle.org/en/IP_blocker has a clear message:

 

 

The setting itself, thesite/admin/settings.php?section=ipblocker, indeed does not warn about this:

 

Put every entry on one line. Valid entries are either full IP address (such as 192.168.10.1) which matches a single host; or partial address (such as 192.168) which matches any address starting with those numbers; or CIDR notation (such as 231.54.211.0/20); or a range of IP addresses (such as 231.3.56.10-20) where the range applies to the last part of the address. Text domain names (like 'example.com') are not supported. Blank lines, and text following a "#" character are ignored.

Maybe you want to make a suggestion?

Yeah, that is what Re: Need Help My Moodle Blocked says (linked to https://docs.moodle.org/en/IP_blocker) .Should work. Have you changed Allowed list will be processed first (allowbeforeblock) too? Directly changing the database is risky.

The scale of the "financial incentive" is glaring considering the company valuations surpassing the trillion dollar mark. But the "the use of content algorithms" is not clear to me. Is it what causes the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomscrolling?

Let me to be sure that I understand your issue:
- You have 38 Assignments in a course.

- All of them have hard deadlines.

- You have set their Due dates to those deadlines.

 

- They are properly displayed on the Calendar.

 

- The problem is that the students can submit the assignments after their Due dates.

 

- Additionally setting the Cut-off date to the deadline would give you the expected behaviour.

 

- The problem with that is you have to go through all the 38 assignments and set the Cut-off date to be to the same as the Due date.

 

- Therefore, you want a simplified version of the Assignment activity, hopefully a configuration option, where there will be only one due date (or cut-off date, whichever you want to call it).

 

Is that right?
