    If his rights were removed then how did he post this? What did he do to get baned? Where is the thread?

        Looks like I picked a cracking time to take my quarterly god-I'm-really-really-bored saunter through old haunts.

        Have fun Gurm, whereever you end up.

            Well I spent a hour or so reading threads and still don't get it. But what the heck...

              it is simple, all MURCers have been warned (multiple times) for pushing the limits around here, Gurm had his priveledges restricted and didnt like it, so he left. Personal attacks were involved and WILL NOT be tolerated.

                    But unfortunately, blocking an IP address means that anyone else using that IP address (eg if they're at work using a router that uses NAT and only presents one IP address to the world, or, in the case of dynamic addresses, anyone who happens to pick up that address when they next get on to the 'net) won't be able to use the forum either.

                    My limited experience of tracking IP addresses on a forum I run, suggests that over a relatively short time period there can be more than one person using a single IP address.

                      I don't mean Sasq will go and block IPs - but he can see where regular users are creating duplicate logins

                      Anyhoo, that's not the case here - Gurm chose not to post any more - he was only blocked from the Lounge/Temp forae and temporarily at that.

                        and changing IP is far from difficult...

                          From a technical standpoint, changeing IP's is not, changeing host is.

                          But GNEP answered correctly, it is Gurm's choice not to post, he had his rights pulled from posting in the lounge/temp only - and it was temporary.

                            Even so I highly doubt he'd do something as childish as creating another account just to troll.

                              And it's not as if he could REALLY keep his identity secret, either. After reading a few sentences, we'd probably know it was him.

                                Only works if it's a fixed IP otherwise you ban other people who've got nothing to do with it.
