Now banning an ip is simple but often worthless. For example my isp uses several ip ranges. So if i restart my router i will jump from anything in the 121...... range to the 52... range. Anyone can use a proxy and then you cant stop them.
Unless you have a decent proxy killer for your sites which thanks to the creator here i have.
Here is how i ban ip ranges with .htaccess. Well not just ban but redirect

PHP Code:

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^123.456 
RewriteCond $1 !^index.php$ 
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.google.com [R=302,L] 


As you will see in the above code. All addresses in the 123.456. range will now be redirected to google.
Normally i would use some dirty gay site but you get the idea i feel.

Im gonna do that, then theyll be like OMG, what happended, then they will think there computer is virused, LOL Make redirect to you've been hacked page... LOL

you can ban the user by ip
and there are other ways of stopping users behind proxy too

I saw a user with around 10 IPs once, and I knew it was the same person because he/she spammed with the same ads.
Turns out it wasn't a real user at all, but a bot. I put some more extensive captcha and verification methods and everything was solved.
Other than that, manual IP ban in the ACP should be enough.

well you can ban a range of IP's like you can ban all IP's ending with a vertain number, so it's most likely some other people might be banned too

Yes.... i think thats wat happened to me on HF
Omni banned a range of ips
and i got banned along with em'

I just block the IP.
and ban his account. he is free to make a new account and be a good member.
but if he acts all bad. i just IP ban him again. Keep banning him until he runs out of IPs.
Because i heard dynamic IPs can be changed for 4-7 amount of times.
after that your IP will keep on be the same
for example. if you keep on switching. it will redirect to your previous used IPs.
like a replay list on your musics.

But if users have Static (Their IP Changes Every 24 Hours OR if they reset there Wireless) will be kind of diffucult

There was another website I was on and someone kept doing that.
But then again, it was an SMFForFree forum >.<

Well , Dynamic ip changes , therefor banning him meaning you can ban a legit user , but if he have static ip and you ban him , he can allways turn to proxy servers and will keep coming.
Best way is to keep banning username , + if mail is require to send for activation then he will eventualy get bored of making accounts/mails.

Ya, if he really likes the site and one day did something wrong that causes a ban, he'll come back with a proxy and change his ip, but the registration ip will stay the same so you'll know it it is him, if he signs up and you think it's him just check his ip and make sure you activate accounts so if he does sign up you don't need to activate him, then he'll get tired of making accounts.

What's the problem you should enjoy banning --> Look forward to the time when a previously banned member returns for another portion of some banhammer

[Zash]

Don't bother with IP bans. They are a waste of time, and for some IPs, you can end up banning a good chunk of traffic.

Just ban the user's account. If they come back, then it's their problem. As long as they do not do anything wrong with their new account, or you don't know, it's not really your problem. I mean if they aren't doing any harm, don't go through the trouble.
