Typically, on forums, banning people can be difficult, unless the person has a static IP. Static IPs are rare, they usually cost more, because a static IP allows you to host things, and most ISPs don't want you gobbling up their bandwidth. My IP is dynamic. Keeping the same IP is determined by lease time. The IP is leased for, 24/48 hours, and even if I power my modem/router off for a day, the DHCP server will recognise my MAC and give assign the same IP. However, if I go into my router, and release, and then renew my IP, I get assigned a new one. Some ISPs have shorter leases. My question would be how bannings occur. Are the admins starting with temp bans or will they be jumping straight to perma bans? The only way to do ban me for good would be to ban a whole node of my ISP. And I think this would affect at least 2 other users on the foro. Most forums are incapable of a MAC ban.
