smurfing?

Osmer_Toby · Aug 12, 2004

a question in light of the recent expulsion- if one is banned, is there anything to prevent one from smurfing (re-entering under another name and email)? can you track ip addresses to prevent this?

Who got expelled?? What have I missed??

I've never seen it called smurfing before. Interesting...

I am sure the software tracks IP and IPs can be banned. I think it's common forum stuff. My forum does it and I don't even pay for it!

See swiss toil in the critiques forum Orie - although its not really what he was cast out for :roll:

I would imagine that the IP would have been banned to prevent the little bugger from coming back.

I believe that Chase banned his IP. so he'd hafta spoof his IP. but you know 13yr olds these days...

what about dynamic ip's? how would you block them?

voodoocat · Aug 12, 2004

Well you can block a range of IP's but usually with cable modems you get an ip address and it lasts a few weeks. hopefully the tool will forget about it in a few weeks.
