Question on religious spammer

[wacki]

Religious guy (AmyBlueBMW05) just popped up. I banned him. I did this by username. However he will surely be back. Should I do IP? If so when? Banning by IP might affect other 2+2'ers btw.

Just covering all ends...

[ThaSaltCracka]

How would banning by IP effect others?

Banning IP's will bring you into a whole new territory... did Mat give you guys permission to do that?

It would only work if it was a static IP.

A static IP address is very rare these days. Nearly all ISPs provide "dynamic" IPs for their customers, which periodically change and are recycled between different customers. Further, if you are behind a firewall at work, everyone from your company can look like they're coming from the same IP.

[pshreck]

I agree, but its not that simple and could inadvertently ban others.

[Voltron87]

ban the IP, and if Mat complains ban Mat's IP /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Cable modem will not change unless you have your cable modem off for more then 24hrs.

true but if its coming from the religous nut you deserve to be banned for being associated/paid by him/her

Banning the ISP would be awful, because I heard this Jesus freak uses AOL. How many 2+2ers would be banned if you banned AOL?

[partygirluk]

Thanks for banning him. According to Link (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=inet&Number=2535912&Forum= ,All_Forums,&Words=&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Main=253 5833&Search=true&where=&Name=60&daterange=&newerva l=&newertype=&olderval=&oldertype=&bodyprev=#Post2 535912) you would do better to lock his threads than delete them. You should turn him pink too.

That would actually weed out a lot of the trolls.

[poker-penguin]

Only the ass clowns, surely anyone with any sense doesn't use that POS "ISP", do they?

[Dead]

Some people live in the sticks and AOL is the only internet access they have. Fortunately, I am not one of them. I guarantee you that at least 10 valuable posters here use AOL.

[eric5148]

Granny Mae uses AOL.

[Dead]

See.

So that's the only way to stop the Jesus freak- banning all the AOL ips. The entire block. But you can't do that because then you'll ban people like GMae. So we are stuck with him.

Very few ips are static. You should probably pm questions like this to me before creating new threads.
