posters can be banned, but it is so easy for them to create a new account and come back with a different name. banning really doesnt do much.


Looks like they would have to be on a different computer. Your coordinance # you can't change . whatever U call that identifiable # that is your 'footprint' on the world wide web.


 

 

Many, many people use different types of proxy servers. The companies that provide them often offer basic services very cheaply. With a proxy server, your "footprint" information goes to *their* servers first, gets *changed* by their servers, and no one knows where you "really" are. I believe the information changes with every use, as well.

 

These companies don't exist "for" trolls but I can see they would make use of them.

 

Then again, people can sit at a McDonald's for an hour and cause all kinds of havoc. Next time - different McDonald's, different IP #. Where there's a will ...

 

Too much work for me.
