A long time. Permabans are tied to ip address.

On my old broadband service I had a fluid IP address. They'd drop your address and reassigned it to others on the node as needed. So while a site could havebanned a specific address for me, in a day or so I'd have new on. Granted at a moment's notice (every day at midnight) I could be reassigned the "banned" one...

The only way to get a permanent IP address from them back then was to spend extra monies and get a business account.

Unlike some of my cohort, I have never been banned from ENWorld. Thread banned a few times, sure, not site banned.

Of course not. I was merely implying so for humorous effect.

Which...may have been slanderous.

I'll take it down if you want.

It's all good. Just lettin anyone who cared know I've never actually been banned here.

Which makes for 4 message boards I actually participate in that I haven't been banned at (counting temp bans and such, but not thread bans). I do actually try towards rules obeyance here. When I think about it.



I never actually used the random assigned IP address to get around a ban. But then the only manner in which I've "gotten around a ban" was to make a "fake ID" so I could continue to read the message boards in question while waiting for the ban to lift, not actually post there. I've never been perma-banned.




EDIT: It's the Choo-Choo Bear avatar isn't it? Annoyed cat pic makes all my posts sound like they come from a place of annoyed pissed-off-a-tude don't it.

Even today almost no one has a permanent ip. If you want one, most of the time it costs extra money.

There are other ways of trying to block him but if he has even a smidgen of knowledge he can circumvent them. Of course it is who it is so maybe that is not an issue. .

Then how does the whole "IP Ban" thing work?
