Quote - It may be some sort of deterrent as Renderosity could base the ban the user based on the email address that the user signed up with. I know that it is possible to have numerous email accounts these days but at least it would cause the perpetrator some sort of bother. If they are a continual offender then it would surely lead to them giving up being a member or stop them from their obscene commenting.

That's true but there are a few people who have nothing better to do than to act boorish seeing how easily it is to be anonymous behind a few dark or colored pixels of phosphorous materials on a glass plate.  They would be less bothered by the multiple accounts and are less likely to give up being a member. However if Renderosity were to also base the ban on the user's IP address along with their email address or record their IP address and file a complaint against the offender with the offender's Internet provider, it could go a long way to deter such boorish actions.

But then that is just me. :ohmy: That would mean extra work for the owner or site administrator or moderator but it would be worth it as it won't be a daily occurrence and people could post without the fear of such boorish action taking place on their art work. :biggrin:
