Why dont mods IP ban ever? It is far more of a hassle for users to ban dodge that way.

Because it's easy to change IP just by resetting your modem.

You have to try a few times. You can also use a proxy.

the ip's are usually assigned to your ISP and are not yours exlusively. they are done on whats essentially a rotational basis for example there may be 300 users supported by your isp but they may have only 200 ip's they will not have an ip for every customer guaranteed. so if you had say ip 1.1.1.1 today and the mods banned that ip and you logged off then tomorrow I logged on and got that ip assigned I would not be able to access my gD account then I send the Mods a nasty note asking why i am banned when in fact im not!! its the ip i was assigned randomly by my ISP. Hope that answers your question in more detail.
