Possible solution...
If you consider the following:
Most people who become TA's in Jail, are Lamers. A large portion of them are probably using their dad's AOL account.
Anyway, this implies that the following approach may work:
Simply send the offending members a cookie. (No, not a Chips Ahoy!).
Send a cookie that says they can't use TA anymore, and then check for such a cookie whenever a new user signs up If they have the cookie, then no access...
This is not a fool-proof solution, as cookies can be deleted, and even ignored, but as I said, most of the offending clowns are lamers, and wouldn't know how to delete a cookie... And the ones that think they're all clever, and do it through the IE settings (removing all cookies) will get his/her ass whipped by their dad for losing his pc-banking auto-sign in thingy-boo...
So yah, that's my simple IP-independant solution suggestion.
