I Have a Suggestion for Similar Worlds

I keep seeing people that were banned come back. Are people banned by their IP or just their account?

I suggest they ban the IPs.

It's tricky because then other people using the same ISP get banned even though they've done nothing wrong. And there's nothing to stop people using anonymity networks to subvert IP bans.

But there are those who just use public free wifi, like in coffee shops or libraries, etc. And I believe that the worst of the baddies, are as they are, because they have a desperate NEED to be abusive and are too meek in their real lives to stand up and be heard. Strangers on sites like this are their victims. I suppose it's better than beating a spouse or kicking small dogs, or abusing their kids. I think if their home ip is banned, they would go across the street to the nearest free wifi and join up there.

Their previous accounts were taken down. One of the owners also said they did it.

@XNexoX that's hard to do because ip's can easily be changed.

Would still put a stop to some of the more stupid ones.
But yes, we can't have innocent people being banned.

Well the person I'm talking about wouldn't have the brains to do it.

I don't have the brains to do it either, but I still know enough to know that the nearest coffee shop has free wifi.

@XNexoX Would hopefully cut down on it, yeah, which would certainly be a start!

@TwiddlerOfThumbs
I can tell they are the same person
@XNexoX - right, but how do you know they were banned?
How do you know if someone has been banned?
