Problem with IP bans is that you could block someone that shares a PC. God knows if I was 12 and my sister was blocking me from the PC I might have been evil enough to get her banned so I could have access to it (I am no longer 12 nor that evil (well....)).

Sorry off topic for a mo
Nah if you ban an ip on a forum like this, its not too hard to get round. It depends on the ISP and also the type of connection. I like a certain troublemaker am with talktalkand as opposed to using a static IP allocation they use a dynamic IP allocation, I only need to close and exit my browser switch my router off for 10 seconds switch it back on and open a new browser, I would then have a new IP allocated.
There also other things people could do, use a decent hide ip program, before causing trouble amonst other things.
Actions I use on my own site when faced with a repeat trouble maker, aks politley for them to desist, ban for a while, permanent ip ban, and if the offender gets round that, log their ip day and time etc, then report them to their own ip for netabuse, they then investigate monitor and if need be they can place restrictions on the person.
