Phillip, I am editing your title, it comes off as if you're talking about IW.

I know it's easy to go around IP-blocking but the people who do it can be banned again. What's the fun in having to activate forum accounts again and again to just cause a little trouble. And isn't it always possible to see if it's the same user? On another forum we had such a troublemaker and he came back three times and every time the mods had been able to get his real IP back (the one he used when he first registered) making sure he was the same.
I understand some forums do this, one I know was Gathering of Tweakers, cause they're someone's hobby (I think that's the case for GoT) but for a commercial company I think it's bad. Like if there are no problems anymore with the combination NWN+ATI and ATI+Linux I know my next video card won't be an Nvidia anymore but ATI (or possible some other brand)
