I just think its such a scummy idea. I'm caught in the crossfire because of their sloth and because some cunt is spamming the site, so -I- have to suffer the consequences for it?

Whatever, atleast it's $20 for 12 months and quicker posting, and no captchas.

Well, some of these people have VPNs containing hundreds of IPs they can use, so the only way they can be efficiently banned is to ban every IP that fits the pattern they're using. The only way for the mods to fight back aside from using a range ban is to just wait for them to strike again over and over and ban them one proxy at a time. Not only would that take a long time, it would also let them get away with an awful lot of rulebreaking. Not saying that what happened to you was just, only that the mods don't really have a better way of stopping people with lots of proxies that I'm aware of.

Also, the proxies that spammers use can later be taken up by other people as legitimate IP addresses, so if each of them got a permaban then it would punish normal people who obtain the IP later, and they would have no way of ending the ban (aside from appealing, that is). A temporary range ban of a million is superior to a hundred permabans because once it's over, the person who caused it has likely given up and few permabans remain on the range for innocent users to stumble their way into later. Basically, a lot of temporary collateral damage versus a small amount of permanent collateral damage.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

It -would- help if mods actually listened to /feedback and emails however. But stil, whatever. I have the pass and I'm 'safe' again. I just wanted to vent it out.

Same here OP, I'd never have thought my ISP might get banned since it's a regional one.
