What is wrong with one account per IP? I cant see any harm in it. Half the time in this Forum you dont know who you are &#39;talking&#39; to. I am guilty too. I did it to prove a point against multiple accounts. But I would completely agree with one account per IP. There may be issues that arise out of this suggestion, at the moment I am unaware of any. Even people who are networked have an IP associated with &#39;their&#39; computer.

I know we will get replies like &#39;too difficult to implement&#39; etc. Surely if you can ban an IP, then you can limit that IP to one account.

All Freeserve customers connect through a proxy. It&#39;s been known for large numbers of them to simultaneously have the same IP

then we ban freeserve customers, they never have anything worthwhile to say anyway [/b][/quote]

Then this place would totally confuse everyone

I&#39;ve seen so many topics and posts lately that turn out to be someone else or someone on moderation/banned etc , man thats annoying, what SD and the guys done for a laugh with the judges is different, but all this "Hi I&#39;m new here and I hate you all" type of crap is just.........worthy of a real good slap in the face and a fucking good kicking on the floor

Dunno, just guess that half this places members are the same people as the other half

Now stop it before I take a smelly dump in the middle of the room and start rubbing peoples faces in it

i agree with you jonno. the other day i saw argarah started a thread and then backed up his point with his pseudonym 7thelephant. i thought to myself wtf?

I think you will find that I reacted to something which happened to a 7th Elephant post and not the reverse.

Using IPs to block people wouldn&#39;t really work. As stated several ISPs use proxy servers, this includes NTL which is a very large ISP. This is for several reasons, primarilly speed. When they download a page for someone they store it on their own server, then if someone else requests the same thing they already have it. Popular pages are downloaded automatically and regularly. That is why it is important to use alt f5 on this type of supplier as it forces a true refresh and not just a refresh from the ISPs proxy server.

It also affords a degree of security for the user, as most sites will see the IP of the proxy server and not the user themself. The user wil have a static ISP, however this is dropped occasionaly and a new one given, for various reasons. Routers normally come with software which can drop the IP and then if you wait for a while and reconnect a new one is given.

IPs within local networks can be varied, but in the normal course they start from, 192.168.1.100 and work their way up, as I understan it. It is fairly easy to change this. As it is invisible to the internet (in theory) then there is no need. The bottom line is that using IPs to ban people from sites is an ultimately futile exercise, as they can be changed and masked quite easily anyway. As Lamsy said, there is also a high likeliehood of damage to other innocent users. Not really acceptable if the reason is to ban people uusing multiple accounts.

Nice post, although I believe it&#39;s ctrl+F5 to force a refresh

I believe you are correct, my mistake thanks for the clarification. It&#39;s one of the things you do without thinking about it and make a mistake when you come to write it down.
