Its really easy to make an account for this site, so you might want to put something like this system to effect.
Or put restrictions for brand new users or make the sign up process harder.
IP banning has no effect on anyone's ability to make accounts, if you have been on the net more then a week you would know this. I have a program that could make over 100 accounts all with different IP's and e-mails.
It's been discussed. If you're that concerned about it you should send a pm to ioi.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

You're bragging about this?
This is so ironic. I sent a PM to ioi earlier today about IP banning.

almost no one has a static IP , so after someone reconnected to his ISP he has a fresh unbanned IP ... and when you ban ranges of IPs you'll certainly hit more people than just the offender ( I think these collateral damage tactics are stupid and a sign for helplessnes )
it would still make it another hurdle to slow down spammers. Having an email registration and captchas would also help
Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

so how would you know that those new members would make good posts? Ho to decide without them actually posting?
isnt the whole idea of signing up being able to post? how would anyone new sign up if they still were not allowed to post for XX weeks?
