Also, Ion...IP banning is retart-ed.
obv anyone can VPN or otherwise IP-mask their viewing before* - but now Google Chrome has what I personally like to call "Incognito Mode" [they probably have some geeky name for it]. Takes one click and I'm Stealth Lurking access.
hahah the joke is, as they say, on you.
* Disincentive that is 99% effective due to effort required to route - 3, maybe 4 clicks - unacceptable effort.
