That can happen - a user gets banned and creates another alias with an IP close to the original. Then that user gets banned again, creates an alias, gets banned again.... and so on, until one side or the other gives up the fight. I never give up.

This happend with the Alina troll who was on the 944 boards. I think she was up to 6 or 7 banned aliases last I checked...

We can ban on IP's as well as search on partial ip's, so it isn't too hard to track trolls down. Also - a leopard can't change its spots - neither can a troll change his modus operandus.
