IP banning CAN"T work!

[Julez]

Everytime I login I get a different IP address. Beside's surely in some circumstances, if you banned an IP address, you could possibly accidently ban other people to.

It could work on a static address, like a cable connection, but even then there are ways to change the static IP address to another one.

Besides, I understand there are programs like 'anomizer'(sp.) that make it impossible to trace.

I think the best option would be to trace the IP address whilst they are on line and complain to the ISP in the case of really bad troublemakers.

BTW I am not an expert in this kinda thing but I think my theory is mostly correct

I've told you a million times to use Nolvadex when this happens

I've got nolva, ari & clomid....I just like to rub my nips and then trace IPs all over the place.

Ask MattTheSkywalker, he is the router guru around here.. they do do it, but yes it's easy to switch IPs

It does work, it works quite well. Some may say it works too well.

For instance, if I get my IP banned they would basically look like this:

NATed firewall address: 207.174.48.1 BANNED
Buuut, to take a step further, banning 207.174.48.X will pretty much keep me from switching IPs, unless I go out and buy another block of IPs or an entire class C.

Problem with that is, if I *only* owned 207.174.48.1, and other users not related to me or my company had various IPs on the 207.174.48.X range would also be banned.

In this case, since most people get their IP ranges from their broadband provider, you could be banning entire regions/states/counties etc.

Effective in some specific cases. For example to block a proxy server or an ISP which isn't common at all. But I agree that it's usually a risk. Especially with providers like AOL.

AOL users are dead weight anyway.

That's what I was basically saying!
