- Change the ban system:  It is pretty obvious that this site has a lot of N/X/PS trolls.  A lot of them get banned for trolling and then get banned for a few days.  Then they come back and they just start trolling again.  Ban them for weeks/months and they will create an alt account.  Maybe change it with specific board bans.   If an obvious Sony fan is trolling on the MS board then take his ability away to post for a month on the Microsoft board.  For the users it will be better because the trolls are gone from their board for some time and 2) the trolls will not be encouraged to create an alt account to troll more.

This is actually a great idea.  Hopefully someone important sees it.

 

Don't know if I'm someone important, but I've seen it and like the idea. I will discuss it with the rest of the staff. 

And some of the stuff that's coming will definitely enhance any VGC addictions! 

or could you do some variation of the mediawiki (Wikipedia's software) method for blocking an account? namely, it blocks their access and also blocks the underlying IP address from creating an account and blocks any existing accounts that have accessed the site from that IP address. I know that wouldn't stop a determined user, but it could help prevent people from making as many alt accounts.

OT: dude that's pretty cool the site makes enough money for you to be able to work on it full time. http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/vgchartz.com is pretty encouraging in that department as well. Keep up the great job guys!

 

I can change my IP daily and I am sure others can do it in less than ten minues.
