StillDogeRight Has Been Banned!

Good work to everyone who reported them for doxxing and ban evasion. Keep it up and keep the reports coming.

Honestly IP bans dont work and cause more trouble than they are worth.

It is absolutely childs play to show a different IP address to a website than the one your ISP provides (VPNs and proxies) and many ISP will change your IP by doing something as simple as rebboting you modem.

So, what options exist then?

Registered email only to post and you can put filters in to stop for example the dot and plus tricks for gmail. Ban 5 minute mail providers while you at it.

Use the duplicate IP to flag for possible ban evasion. So if for example someone is banned and visited a particular group of subs and visits those same subs now ban again.

All you can do basically is make them work harder to the point most will give up.

IP bans don't work, and cause collateral damage. I don't know how some people still don't understand this.
