Banned Users.

[Nuxty]

Well my friend the forum can IP ban the user that means their internet will not be able to acess HabboxForum or they can ban the e-mail adress so that e-mail can not be used to sign up again or they can just ban the username like Moderators usually do

[joshuar]

The problem with IP addresses is that they do switch between computers. I remember when someone got an IP ban it banned most of the city (who shared his IP address).

A machine ban would be better if we were banning computers from accessing the forum, but no such feature exists for vbulletin.

I agree with the thread starter. It is obvious that these people come back on new accounts, usually because they make it clear that they are the banned user, yet admins choose to do nothing. Surely that undermines the point of a ban?

@Josh: Even if there wasnt a feature to physically stop that person from returning, surely letting them return on another account is going against the point of a ban? Surely it cant be too hard to just keep banning the user until he/she has had enough?

Becuase, when they return. They usually behave on another account as they know they will just constantly be banned. So alot of the time they come back on another account and don't cause major trouble.

Isnt that the job of infractions, to warn them that theyve done bad things and not to do it again? As far as I, and many forum members are concerned, a ban means that forum member has proved that they cannot behave on the forum and the admins don't want them around any more

@ Ross, clear your cookies
And a year ago, it wasnt allowed to create a new account, but Seacat changed that rule.

[Dentafrice,]

Well I wish somebody would really look kindly on this and have a kind of
amnesty to forget the past because you had a really great account for years

Yeah I know

I will just have to learn to shutup and let it go

The only thing I wants my name back I hate Dentafrice,

:\ ugrr

I am amazed I haven't been banned... There is no way to stop someone coming on a forum. Cookies, e-mails and IPs can easily be removed or changed and machine banning may cause problems for users who have family which may be the exact opposite as the member previously banned. There is always a downside.

Hit the nail on the head.
