and here comes the other excuse I have been given why we should not ban him, he will just join under a different user name.....well, with that kind of mentality why ban anyone??
Don't you have a way to prevent that by identifying his I/P address? I remember a few yrs. ago a lunatic signed up and started posting lewd pics (real nasty ones) in the general forum. They banned him and he'd sign right back up. After about the 4th or 5th time the mod taking care of it (John, can't think of his screen name, not a mod anymore) closed him down again and said something about putting a bug (possibility cookie?) on the offenders PC so he could never sign up again. It seemed to work cause he went away and this guy was a real lunatic, not the kind you'd expect to just go away on his own.
