Can a mod/admin please clarify something for me. When someone is banned, is their IP banned, or is just the profile they use banned?
 
The user name is banned, but if the user registers another account but doesn't make a change for the good then the admins can IP ban them to prevent them coming back again.
 
Actually, the mods send out a five-man crew, and they repeatedly whack you in the noggin with a Louisville Slugger until the only thing you can say is, "Nitto Racing."
 
IP banning can possibly create problems for other, innocent users with similar IPs, so it's only used in severe cases.
 
Ask Buzbo or Jazza how well that program is working out for them.
 
Not meaning to sound like a hypocrite here but I think you guys are a little too soft on the banning front. I realise one chance is good enough (lookie here at yours truely) but anything after that shouldn't be accepted.
