Correct me if I'm wrong but couldn't you ban the IP address at one point? Wouldn't that solve some of the rejoining under various names? I'm not very good with tech so bare with me.
IP bans have been effective in the past, but not much anymore. Most users have a laundry list of posting IPs due to multiple connection points, smart phones, etc. They're good for tracking down alts, and confirming posting locations, but not a lot more.
Once upon a time, Cyber, (I think it was Cyber)in one of his many alts, continued to register his alts with these IP masking services. We banned a lot of them on sight, because they're super easy to spot, and when they're coming in every 30 min, it makes it easy. Finally, we let one of his alts slide, and he pm'd me to say he was glad we finally let him on because the (apparently shady) masking service he was using was infecting his computer with viruses. I was kind of shocked that someone would go to that length, purposely using a site that he knew would infect his computer, to get around being banned on CF.
That's when I understood. There are Cybers out there. They can't be reasoned with, they can't be bargained with. They don't feel pity of remorse or fear and they absolutely will not stop. Ever. Until you are dead.
So, all you can do is toss out a few moonrock/geode jabs when you can, and just hope that's enough to get you through the day.

I enjoy how Cyber or at least I think it's Cyber on Twitter constantly bashes on CF yet tries harder than anyone to be able to post here.
So he's going to be kept active due to our basketball game on Dec 1st, right? :wink:
Its like a Kevin Hart movie. You know its probably going to rob you of a few IQ points, but it still gives you the occasional laugh.I hope Bode never gets banned. Can always count on a daily dose of laughter from him.
I remember my first ban too.. got the post # and date tattooed on my arm.. #NeverForget

What did you get banned for? I want/need to hear the story.
Honestly, banning is like initiation. Those of you who haven't been banned yet (looks at CyFan13) need to step it up. A boobie pick, swerving around the censors, or going on an all out assault on the mod team is a great way to do it.
And it changes you. It only took me 6 times, but I've grown as a man since being banned. I'm a better person, women love me more than ever, and my relationship with my family has gotten much better.
I got banned for closing the NDSU thread. I should have gotten a medal or something for that.
As for this banning thing, if we could only ban AIRBAG, that guy is annoying.......
