Well Midnight can ban by IP so when someone who is banned makes a new name they will not be allowed to. Hopefully this will just not happen.

I don't think that we'll have a problem with flamers, because *some* people aren't at this board, and also, the flamers aren't at this board either.

I can ban people by e-mail, IP, and username.
For e-mail, a new user must give a valid e-mail since their password is sent to them via e-mail.
For IP, anyone using a certain PC will not be allowed signing in.
For username, anyone using a certain username will not be allowed signing in.
If all these fail to work I can contact the ISP of a person. The ISP will be contacted in a major violation of the breaking of rules. The ISP will then handle the trouble-maker.

Another thing, if anyone knows who any trouble-making socks are please notify a member of the admin team immediatley. This will greatly help us to prevent and to solve problems.

Socks are users who create an alternate name to say negative things about another person, or just to start trouble. The reason for the other name is usually because they don't want people to know who they "really" are, even though they always get found out anyway.
Also keep in mind that any time you change your name, it's considered a sock, but as long as you're not breaking the TOS, there's nothing wrong with it.
So socks are not always a bad thing. It just depends on the person's intent.
