Persitant users who r banned, keep signing up

Just wondering if there was a way to perm ban a 56k user from the forums?

Coz there is a certain member who keeps resigning up, and its getting annoying

So is it possible?

don't think it's possible, he has a changing ip, maybe contact the isp so he can be blocked for this website, but they will never do that

Posted by jon on Dec-15-2002 18:26:

it could be done, as the isp has a ip range for certain areas, and swamper could also ban such fings as borswer types and screen resoultions if he had the time to do the coding

Many ways to get back in (router) unfortunately. But why would you?

i can easily suspend turner as many times as he tries to comeback, no problems.

The moment turner starts using a new name, if anyone can prove to me its him reguardless if hes behaving ill suspend him for his previous crap, thats if neo or ste hasnt beaten me to it

Personally if they've been banned & not let back in by swamper, then they should be banned again on new names, my opinion neway, and with most ppl knowing who the trouble makers are eg turner, its obv who they are when they resign up so should be easy to complete

just ignore the ppl, theyll get lonely and go else where.

U would think so wouldnt you

It's a lot more effort for them to signup than for you to ban them. Keep banning them without giving them the reaction they're looking for and they'll either get bored of it or start behaving properly.

When people start having a go and giving them the attention they're looking for it just makes it worth signing up again in their eyes. Ban them without comment and they'll soon go elsewhere.

That won't do shit. There are ways to get around that. For example, wehn I was banned I just started using altavista.com translator and logged onto the web site and kept posting, simple and I know theres other ways.

Posted by jon on Jan-26-2003 14:26:

You would say that.

No i was just asking, if their isnt then fine.

i give it to you from a perspective of a person who knows something about networking...

it is impossible to cut this person off completely. if he uses an ip from his ISP network block, that means that you have to ban the whole subnet (meaning probably thousands of innocent users) to get rid of one person. but even if you do, there is such thing as a proxy server (and you can find tens of thousands of them by simply entering "proxy list" in google for free). the only viable way is to report to ISP that at this particular time the user with this ip address (and it's very easy for an ISP to search through the logs and find out the user) abused our site - and not for the first time - (and show evidence of it, with the ip address of the person and the time seen at the page), and asking to terminate the contract with the user completely or to restrict the user from accessing the website by adding an extra line to the routers access list. but the offense has to be really serious for an ISP to go through all of this pain-in-the-ass procedure.

simply don't react and they go away because the fun is gone
