A Suggestion Regarding Bans

[SauronHimself]

I'm sure this site has had problems with previously banned users returning under new names and continuing their childish antics. If it is a big enough problem, I suggest that the site admins consider investing in Black Ice, which would allow you to completely ban a user's IP. Consequently, they could never visit the site again, so you wouldn't have to worry about them making new screen names.

I believe IP Bans has happened before. Plus you don't really need aditional software for that.

IP bans are used, it's just funny to see how pathetic some people really are. I know I've been IP banned myself before.

/me thinks OP is two things; a person who has no idea how the internet works, or b; someone who works for this software trying to sell it. probably both...

There is no need to buy Black Ice to ban based on IP's. There's free code all ove rthe web we can use. We have our very own coded online interface to do IP bans, IP range bans, etc. There is no need for software for that.

Plus we're in the hell hole for $ as it is now.

Also, anyone, well, almost anyone can chance their IP on command.

I was IP banned from here before. I'm still grateful Oscar let me back on.

All in favor of banning rcking04 say yay!

And yet, all he talks about is banning me [:(]

Well, I didn't know you could IP ban someone already. I saw a lot of talk about banned users making new names, so I thought I would offer that solution.

do you only read the bad stuff? or do you just decide that the bad stuff like annoying users and stolen tracks are the only things worth posting about?
dont want to start anything I'm just asking

I never heard of a ban dealing with good stuff.

Thats my point, you never post anything not dealing with banning people or stolen tracks.

^Those don't deal with bans or stolen tracks. I think you just want your brain to remember only certain things instead of the whole picture.

I think this topic has run its course and could use a lock.
