A good way to make sure a user does not use/create another account when he/she is banned (not a permanent ban), is to ban them by their IP.

It's so easy to cycle IP that an IP ban is easy to avoid.

I think they do an IP ban when the problems gets worse. Like brownie, Tessdog etc.

(Tessdog's IP couldn't be ban because I think dabear had the same something or other....)

Also, I happen to be one of the people that changes IP address every fortnight or so.

Bad idea to ban IP's, IMO. My whole town shares the same IP (About 300 different homes on this ISP). So if my IP were to be banned, the whole town would be locked out.

And then you get your first ban extended..

We do not ban by IP in most circumstances because it is ineffective.
