|
|
As some of you know there is this guy who has been I believe Chocolate New Orleans, Tookie Williams, Coach, and HcaoC in the last few weeks. He's a troll who likes to post about gay people.
I was wondering about how the banning actually works. Does one have to get on a different computer to sign up with different accounts, at least after being banned?
I was banned from a forum once, and I couldn't set up an account from the same computer because it blocked my IP address. Does PC do that? |

| If you are banned, usually your IP Address is not blocked at first. If you do make more accounts however, your IP Address will be bloacked. |

I think so, but I'm not sure. All I know is that hypothetically, if this thread were to be moved, I would be "in" before such a move took place.
Hypothetically. :wink:
You can be banned by username or IP. |

| People can avoid IP bans as well. You don't even need to be particulary computer savvy, usually you just keep banning their nicknames and they give up after a while. Beyond an IP ban and banning their nicknames there isn't much you can really do. |

| If someone is wont to sign up again and cause problems for the site then the IP will be banned. It is effective up to a point. There are however measures that can be taken other than IP banning if the problem is ongoing. A lot of these people are easily picked up because they have a style which continues in the manner which got them banned in the first place. It's work to stay on the issue but that's forums for you. :) |
