    Repeat offending banned posters

    When a poster is permanently banned from the forums, is his/her IP address also blocked from rejoining the site under a new name?
    I am asking because of what seems to be a large amount of junk posters joining recently.

    No, it isn't so if I ban someone permanently he can just join in another account.

    Thankyou, I have been wondering that for a while.
    It seems like the most appropriate thing to do in the case of people posting porn and other offensive material.

    But what you get with ip ban?? connections have temp ip? evry time when you connect to net you have new ip and you can reg again?

    And for guys with fixed ip they have much programs for surfing anonimusly so in teory you cant do nothing to prevent someone reg again?

    ..there are some solutions for stoping banned peoples to reg again but that is too complicated, and not 100% legaly i think

    If a user were to keep creating new accounts, we could always contact his ISP and say that a user from that IP address has been harassing us.

    You guys have known this and have used this option for awhile now, right? Assuming you need to.

    Yes, we have. I think we might've actually done this with one user a while ago (might've been kingarthurivvi), or maybe we just threatened to.

    Actually contacting someones ISP is quite a big deal right?
    I mean, i think they could get their internet taken out or something like that right?
    BTW the admins can know everyones ISP i guess. But can the mods know it?

    Well correct me if I'm wrong, but your ISP is Prodigy, correct?

    The ISP could cancel your service with them, or if it were something illegal, you could be arrested (although there isn't much you could do on a forum that would get you arrested).
