If a forum bans a person and other people have the same IP that's like 1 digit off, they all get banned.
A practical hack could check the IP, and not enforce the ban if it's a certain user name, so you could make the ban not apply to others with the same IP.

That's the problem with IP sharing, you have to live with that, no way to get around it. If you'll check for cookies, the user can always remove them.

That's one reason why banning should be an absolute last resort.
Of course there's a similar problem with shared IP addresses and flood control, but that's more of an irritation than a problem for the members affected.

It should be possible. The IP ban is checked on register, log in, and post.
Something could be set so that on log in and post, it checks the username before the IP. If the username matches a name in the avoid list it can skip the IP check.
That possible?

because that user isn't the one you want to ban, he unfortunately has the same IP (within 1 digit) as somebody you do want to ban, and the person you want banned will sign up again if he's not banned and fill the board with crap
