Seth,
there is only one option. Ban the person from fedorapeople, or at least 
give them a warning. So many IRCDs have other ports open, so much so 
that the DC block the DC I am in, was removed.

There should be a warning on the ssh login, giving a link maybe, as to 
what is acceptable on people, if people abuse their privileges they get 
suspended, until they explain why and what they were doing.

Regards,
Tristan
