So, vote and maybe demonhood will hear our pleas and end this nonsense. By banned I mean only from the lounge and let back in when he learns to behave.

Please no inflammatory posts.

He will just change his name, so why bother?

Maybe we could have a 'Q+A' sub-forum, where John * Smith, ankle_brains and the like can go and ask each other stupid pointless questions all day long.

It would be kinda like the political sub-forum, only more intelligent.

When someone is banned from a particular forum, it is that person's IP that is banned, so creating new accounts does nothing. Only a dynamic IP would save someone from such a fate.

Same here. The way people react to him, ankle_brains and the like is amusing, too.

So I guess Ca$h has a dynamic IP then?

Doesn't AOL even have some sort of static IP? Not the actual address itself but some sort of word combo, can't think of the term right now.

Right. I've been banned from the Lounge countless times (well, 5 times), but that doesn't stop me from making new names.

Um, ask Zimph about his being banned from the Political Forum. It might not be the default option, but IP banning from a certain forum definitely happens.
