A bit of an observation...

We've had about as many new people lately as those that have been banned...

Perhaps it's just a coincidence...

Many with similar political views as the o-so-recently-banned..

I'm actually quite surprised that they don't flag the ip address of banned members

IP's can change. My IP has changed quite a few times and I have not changed my provider.

IP masks have been around for a long time. Back in the 90's I used to use one of my computers as a server for an online flight simulation game I used to play. I would mask the IP by running it through another program or website before going online with it. We had to do that because there were many hackers we played against that would track down your IP and then attack your computer back in the day.

Nowadays, a simple google search will give you at least 50 different IP mask sites that you can use to get around IP bans.

Actually, it must be kind of nice to create an alter-ego.

You see this is how it works: Joe Shmoe has played out all of his cards under the name Shmoe. So he reinvents himself, then comes back to say all of the things he wants to say, but with a differant style/approach.

I suppose it could get to be rather confusing though. Lets say for instance Joe (Who now is 'Liquid Candy') enters into a discussion and forgets who he is..then Liquid Candy starts sounding a little like Schmoe..he hopes no-one notices.................

True enough, but I wasn't going to say anything, as my wild guess is that quite a number of the banned members aren't exactly computer gurus and I didn't want to give them any ideas....
