Bou was before my time but I've heard the tale
So how exactly do they propose to get rid of Battered if he misbehaves again? They delete his account, he creates a new one. Called, I dunno, Batt3red.

If they decide to IP ban him, they'll have to either have a way of tracking
which IPs each accounts have logged in from and ban those, or ban an entire range. In the latter case anyone who happens to be in that range will be unable to reach the site.

They're more likely to just ban individual accounts if they come from Battered's IP range than do an outright IP ban, at least to begin with.

Yeah I assumed something similar
but he's got an iPad, presumably a home laptop as well as whatever he "works" off, same as the rest of us. Although I suppose a ban on one of them, if they could manage it, would at least narrow down his options.

If he's on an iPad connecting over his home or work connections
it'd still come from the same IP range as his computer.

Oh yeah
Sorry, I need these things pointing out to me. I'll be happy to return the favour if you ever want to know anything about football, or very specific periods of history
