Be more harsh on scammers

IP BANS DO NOTHING


Quit fucking talking about it.

 

Very true, ban there ISP if possible
and a simple forum ban is nothing.
After all there practicly, well most commiting a federal crime.

 

Its not just illegal, its FRAUD which is a federal crime.

 

Ban their Internet Service Provider? You don't even know what the fuck you're talking about.

 

The only possible way to really help stop scammers is to block their MAC address.

I don't know if Sythe himself can see the MAC addresses that comes in, but from what I've learned, a lot of websites obtain the IP, and MAC address. MAC addresses are permanent, and cannot be changed.

 

You can both change and spoof MAC addresses.

 

A lot less people know how to do that though.

 

I support this idea. Scammers shouldn't be IP banned but they should think about their actions and come to realize that they can't do that. Temporary website bans would be helpful, until scammers learn to grow up.

 

I quickly skimmed over this thread and the only idea's I saw were temporarily banning scammers, which is a NO, and IP banning them, which we already do to an extent, but does not work.
