to fully ban someone, and to stop them using this site,.. instead of banning the username, as porven this has no effect, as they will make a new user name, the only way to ban someone, is to do it by there IP address, is it possible to have a system set up to allow for this, and to stop people who are banned coming back into this site,..
would love to hear any other comments about this, not just from the admin staff, but anyone else
In theory banning an IP would work. However, if the user is on a dynamic IP, you would not only be banning that user but other users later on who get assigned the same IP by the same ISP.
I must admit that the moderators are very active on ensuring that banned members do not return, I personally ensure that their details are blacklisted.
Unfortunately some members do not understand what the term 'banned' means but once the new SP V2 is active, we will have a much better management system.
To ban even a static IP would not definately work as some people do use more than on computer & also there is also possible multi use of one pc which would ban even the innocent
you can get round any IP identifiation software by simply using a proxy server......easy job
