Oh I missed that. I thought the troll crap was at a lower level recently but failed to make that connection. Out of interest what stops a banned troll simply getting a new handle, does AI ban the MAC or address / IP address or something?
The article is fantastic and whatnot, but man...that ?watch in the photo is...just gorgeous.
It does indeed. I just want to wait till Apple release the ?Watch Air, I'll have to get the model airplane gold paint out and make do with a tarted up aluminum model till then.

I think blocking the IP address is fairly standard. I'm not sure what keeps them from coming back through TOR or some similar service, but I suppose that would only work for a little bit before all the exit servers were banned too. I've come across a couple of "you've been banned" messages when surfing on TOR, so some trolls at least must use it.
By the way, where is the news article about the Apple fan and the Fandroid who were roommates and who were arguing with each other about which phone is best, and then they began stabbing each other!
The link doesn't say who won, but my money is on the Apple fan, because the Apple fan probably spent a few bucks for their stainless steel knife, while the Fandroid ended up using a plastic knife that they got with their takeout dinner last night, because it was free.

^^^ Ha! On that themes thread I wondered out loud if anyone had seen you lately. Give it up... you shameless self-promoter you! So how was the rest if the Road Trip?

on MacRumors it's very difficult for banned users to open new accounts. I think they run reports that ban any IP a banned user has ever posted from.

Banned. Good riddance.
