For example, if I use the command to add the IP address of a suspected bad actor to a
node's local list, does that subsequently completely prevent that IP address from being able

<br>
no, but if you send it to me I can arrange for it to be promulgated.
I will need some examples of the sort of issue that caused you to
block that IP. <br>

What are the differences between using the 'set/badip' and the 'set/lockout' commands and
when should each be used?</pre>

<br>
Set/lockout is an "original feature" which has been available since
1997. It only prevents callsigns from logging into the (local) node.
These days it most likely to be used in an administrative way for
stopping unwanted nodes connecting. <br>

It'll be helpful to gain a better understanding of the effects of the 'set/badip' command before I
start using it too liberally...!
</pre>

<br>
Set/badip is a response to people who use different callsigns, but
the same IP address (or small range eg /28 or /29 or even /30) to
send abusive/made up/generally erroneous spots or announces to the
cluster.<br>
<br>
I maintain a central list which can be subscribed to which is used
in addition to any local ones. <br>
