Today, I tracked over one hundred attempts of abuse on ANN. I've been working on the filters and editing mechanisms for over four hours.

An IP address ban isn't feasible. They could just reconnect to their ISP and receieve a different address. Banning a whole subnet (ex: 110.111.X.Y where all X and/or Y is banned) is an option but it would lock out hundreds of other people too. And what if they behaviour was so persistant it locked out an entire ISP for days? It could lock out innocent people who just want to contribute to a discussion. |
