Bans such as you suggest Red are not possible for those of us that can only 'thread ban' someone. That is an action that is only specific to the particular person and the specific thread, that's all.
To ban by either email or IP requires the admin ability to be able to go behind the scenes, so to speak, to the actual working of the forum where more private info about each person is stored. Unfortunately, it's been my experience that people can one; easily change their email address or use another laptop or pc to change their IP address. Or now the use of IP switchers, a program which will reassign the machines IP address is easily available. It can take a real concerted effort to keep someone off a site. To me it's an immature attitude to continue with such actions but then those people are. Or they're spammers and they are annoyingly aggressive.
Best tack; don't engage them too much as I suggested. Report them to Anthony or to one of us four or someone that you trust. The more you keep it out and off the 'main highway' here the better it is for all.
Luckily we don't get too many like this and that's perhaps a saving grace. As I say, I'm always here pm me if you want to talk about anything. Except maybe borrowing money or my truck. :LOL:
Have a good day Ya'll
