|  He'll just formulate some huge plan in 5 days. Why keep him there if that's going to be his attitude towards the community and it's leader? | ||||

| Ban increased to permanent. They re-registered which on my forum is an instant permament ban, and deletetion of the other account.. @Red Matrix. IRC FTW!

| Ban the account, e-mail address and the IP. With those bans in place, she'll be forced to access via a proxy (if s/he doesn't already) and register a new e-mail address each time. Once they gain the knowledge that you're going to continue banning them, they will grow tired of having to jump through so many loops just to register and go elsewhere. Generally, I tend to ban @aol.com, @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com and @msn.com (and their variations) instantly. I've also started moving towards banning @gmail.com too as they are so easy to get, even with the phone verification on now. | ||||
