technically with the ID system on accounts. we no longer have a need for rules.
we pay for the rights to do stuffty things every now and then. its just not unlimited use.
True, but it would preferable if there was a way to properly enforce rules.
It's not really fair that rich-boys like Glass can spend all their parent's money on ID's just to repeatedly come back and be a hassle on all the members who do follow the rules.
Sadly there's no other choice, than the IP ban, which is not an alternative at all considering the ease of navigating around an IP ban, or to just let them waste their money.
Atleast Badspot benefits from the income from new accounts though.
And I've seen persistent pests stick around for a year or two, but they generally get bored or leave, or reform eventually. In the meantime it's just a case of ignoring and letting them waste their money.
