so, if someone is ip banned, obviously they did something wrong and arent wanted around here for a while. so, if thats the case, why can they just get on another computer and keep posting? if you wanted them gone, then they shouldnt be here. so, what im trying to say is, shouldnt their account be suspended as well to ensure they dont come back until their time is up? there have been members that have been ip banned coming back because they can just get on another computer with a different ip and continue with their posting.

...You mean they don't do that already? *totally clueless*

In that case, I say we should, because that is just common sense really...

proxy + new usernames whenever = easily bypassed

i mean all the people from dynasty that were banned are now coming back, even though they are still ip banned.

and james, i know what you are talking about...but usually you can tell if its someone. if they wanted to go through the much trouble, theyd come back, do the same thing and still get banned.

but even if you can tell it is someone... how does that help if they change IPs regularly?

i guess its better than nothing...but i was talking about it with nicki and she some what agreed.

i bet theyll stop going through all the trouble to make new accounts after they get banned a couple of times.

I know what you meant by it, but I thought than when they ip banned, they also suspended the account. I didn't know they didn't do that already. And why can't you just ip ban them again too? Oh wait...nevermind, that could cause problems with other members, like if I had someone who was ip banned at my house, and then they got me ip banned too. Did that make sense?

Well, I thought his account was suspended too, and yet he's using it

yes. the point is, all the people that were caught spamming the forums from dynasty were ip banned, but if they were on, say a school computer, they could get back on their account and post away.

their account does get suspended, just their ip.

I see no reason why I shouldn't suspend Steven's account for like forever. All he's done is spam and cause trouble since he came back- which he shouldn't have been able to do to begin with

can you do sandy too? jus tbecause i've let my internet temper run away with me and she is repulsive?

^ I dont think she is deserving of an ip ban. Just because you have a problem with her doesnt mean she needs to get banned.

Which Sandy? takingbacksandy or sandy_lumpy_shore? Just because you don't like her, that doesn't mean you should ban her. I see no reason to, anyhow.

Sandy won't get an IP ban just because you had an argument with her. You know better, James.

Edit\\
Ahh, well. Looks like I'm a bit late. Sorry.

Just delete their account and Ip and hope for the best for all we know there could be one "master" trouble maker who changes to be those people who mees up the site. If they are that passionate in causing crap then all the power to them
and remember if that dosnt work just tell them this and spam there pm with this message.

go to hell you sick bastards ands stop breaking this great site.

He wasn't serious. I desperately want to warn her, though

deep breathe speople. i dont actually think sandy will be banned,

chillax

Chillax, that's a funny word...and you guys didn't realize he was joking? [/late]

^ Nope, obviously......

"That's the joke, Ted."

I think he was being sarcastic. (EDIT: Jeez, you guys are too quick for me.)

So when you give an IP ban, you are or aren't giving account bans as well? I didn't catch whether or not you were doing that. IP bans are good if the person has a definite IP address, but, for instance, dial-up users who change IP addresses every time they connect won't be effected too much if you don't ban their account as well.

Like racoons>you said though, people can always just make new accounts and get on different computers and continue to spam. I guess it's all just down to which group is more persistant than the other. Hopefully the violators don't ruin it for others who may be connecting from a community computer.

You didn't realize that they all were joking about not joking about taking him seriously?

What?^

is that a joke?

^ Exactly...why we didnt know you whether you were joking or not. Nice Michael, nice......

kiera... i think you think i understand less than i actually do...

you've missed a joke again
