IP Bans

Why is no one banning the idiot trolls trying to pass themselves off as others in this forum? We have Kvinng, Bootnst, GermanStars, and others. These idiots should be outted and banned.

They should be banned and IP banned because they are existing members violating terms of use:

It's most likely one idiot who is doing it. The owner of the board should be able to look at newly formed registrations and see the IP address(es) they are all originating from and halt it there as well as ban all the others. The idiot(s) remind me of my 8th graders.

One or two with at least 10 copy cat accounts. It get's annoying. I also get mad to see posts from copy cat accounts trying to make respected members look bad.

...Since most users have a dynamic--not a static ip.

Just to let you know Ip ban is good, but I run a forum myself (non auto forum) and IP ban is easily passible. I agree though mods should be allowed to Ban or atleast at my forum they are allowed.

Better to go to the forum creators website and get a special banning hack, which bans 99.9%. I use it at my forum and it works like a charm

You would just give the satisfaction of reacting the same way he probably would. It is much easier to regard some people at occupying a somewhat different place on the evolutionary ladder and to otherwise ignore them. Cheerio, Teutone (aka Horst K)
