Isaac, this wouldn't work on its own and would be a fundamental waste of time. And not just because someone could delete the cookie manually from their temporary cache, but they could do it with a little common sense as well.
Heh. It's a cute idea, but from my experience, people that are banned, are usually persistent and if they did have a dynamic IP, as many do, they have way too many options around this.
There's really 2 types of people on the internet.... one's that are tech savy.... and know the various data that can be transmitted to a site when they visit (ip, os, browser, etc etc). They know, if they are banned that it could either have to do with their IP, and if it isn't that theres a tracking cookie on their PC.
The other type of people, are the ones that when spyware wreaks havoc on their PC.... they do the easiest thing...quick restore of their PC. I know a lot of people, that do this every 6 months or so. When they reformat, they will be able to re-visit the site.
