Default Re: perma ban

[ QUOTE ]
I'm still confused. If the mods were to permaban a scammer wouldn't that mean that he could not create a new account/make a new post under that same IP address?

If that were the case why would the mods need to check someone's IP address upon banning when they could simply black that person from registering in the first place

IP banning (as opposed to just normal permabanning of an account) is only done in extreme cases, because (as is discussed above), more than one person can have the same IP.
