[QUOTE="Tim/South, post: 1209274, member: 17986"] I was involved in running a very large forum at one time. We had banned members come back. The software we used kept track of every IP address an account used. AOL used hubs and many shared an IP. We began dropping an invisible tracking cookie on banned accounts. We were alerted when that computer was used. We never shared how we knew the member was the same. It was a tough decision to make as we all felt personal rights were important. A major hack was the straw that broke the camels back and we had to resort to the tracking cookie for banned accounts. [/QUOTE]
