Yes IP banning is difficult and not 100 % proof. But we where obliged to do it in the past.
It's not fun for mods to spend one hour cleaning insanities in those forums.
as someone who stumbled into it by accedent, I know how hard it had to be for the mods to seek it out, so all I am asking is why ban the IP without first reporting it to the ISP as many, at least here in the USA have rules against doing this, they could pull his internet service and no one elese has potential of being harmed.
or better yet, relese his IP and let the "party" begin...

Interesting suggestion, but I fear that reporting to ISP is not that simple. Otherwise it will lead to abuses, and too many people will loose their internet service without serious enough reasons.
Administrations tend to be very efficient, but difficult to move

I see your point, I guess that is the problem with the internet, in the real world a club or community has guards or bouncers to take care of the riff-raff and trouble makers without makeing as much as a disturbance to the customers or residents, there is no way of doing that on the world wide web useing even the most advanced methods of technology today.
I only came here to give an honest apology without getting flamed for it.
I only came here to read and post about Mac stuff, without getting porno-flamed for it.
we werent flameing, we were participateing in the free and open exchange of ideas without sinking to he levels of your little brother to get our point across.
My advice to you, make a new screen name, participate in the forum, with respect for others, and never mention this little mishap again.
There is one more thing, KEEP YOUR BROTHER AWAY FROM US!!!

I agree, publish the IP, so we can post some flood pinging benchmarks.

why flood ping, the only mac he uses is at work, plant a bug in his windows rig and let the real fun begin...
I, myself, didnt want to cause any harm. I only came here to give an honest apology without getting flamed for it.

I truly expect, that it's the case, and that's he will stop this, otherwise your IP will be banned forever.
Yes, I understand. He will never be able to use my computer again.
I actually had to clear out a lot of *nasty* images on my comp that he downloaded. I think hes got a thing for men.

I apologized for this matter. Yes, I do want to post of these forums (but without the pornographic images my bro posted).

I am sure they are just playing with you.
One hell of a way to make an entrance though

how do we know that you didn't make up your brother as an excuse?

Either way, if he stops posting the spam and images, we're all winners.
