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.

"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. -Evan |
