IP bans are possible but they are not usually successful because IP addresses are most usually dynamic, i.e. not linked to one computer permanently. Although some IP addresses are "static" it is impossible to tell which are and which aren't. Therefore, if we issue an IP ban we stand a good chance of:
- only temporarily banning the problem user
- banning a whole group of future potential users who are not the problem user
