Just some common knowledge for any interested ADMINS:
Yuku is unable to accommodate proxy server tracking at this time. This means anybody who has been banned by username will continue being banned by that username.
Anybody banned by IP address will continue being banned by that IP address.
The issue arises when banned individuals create a new username and change their IP. Changing IPs are relatively easy manually (simply by accessing msconfig or accessing any number of proxies located around the world) or accidentally (if people access from a router that refreshes IP addresses every couple of days or even weeks, they'll suddenly find they have access to places where they were once banned.)
The solution:
Each Yuku site must actively monitor their own individual users for personality quirks, habits, grammar, things of that nature. This leaves things pretty non-exact since paranoia has a tendency to make many people appear as someone they are not.
Given the science behind bans (which are essentially quite useless on Yuku sites) it becomes a game of who-has-more-time-on-their-hands. Will it be the admin or the trollers? You've gotta figure too, admins are usually people who have a life of some kind, of higher intelligence (one might assume), so their time is limited and the time they do have they'd probably enjoy it by NOT cleaning up the muddy footprints left by irresponsible children.
So where does that leave things? Usually it leads to only the people causing a disturbance in the peace (or force, if you prefer) being banned; since there's no way to know for sure who somebody is when they change both their username and IP. Unless of course the individual shares their identity with others. Then again, they might be lying in order to get another user banned.
Anyway, it can become a complicated process and just because one account is disabled is not a sure-fire way to keep the person out.
