Can you permaban persistent racist trolls?

Noticing a lot of these lately and it seems that as soon as they're banned they make new accounts. They're not even subtle about it, posting copied stuff that they said before.

it's pretty offensive having to read all that but what I don't get is why you can't permaban these idiots? Why after several accounts are they still here?

Aside from the fact that that would constitute censorship, I don't think that TSR does IP bans.

Censorship to permaban someone who keeps making new accounts to get around a ban?

I thought they did?

TSR does do IP bans, I believe, but it's not difficult to get around these.

Sadly, people put a lot of effort into doing nothing of any kind of use or merit on the internet.
Welcome to the internet.
Racist it subjunctive. You could be just PC, an individual who doesn't like others having their views on race. Just because it offends you it doesn't make it racist either.

The individual in question keeps saying whites are dirty and disgusting and engage in beastiality.
I guess ur question has been answered. Tsr does permaban such idiots but as it's easy to circumvent the ip ban, they continue to make dupe accounts.
Urgh, I agree. The sooner we get rid of them, the better.

Nope, he isn't a racist like you:wink:, so he can't use the PC excuse.

He is a this guy is someone who says that white people get cancer and etc etc and is probably on his 20th different account for saying ridiculous things.

Don't listen to him. Unless someone is using the same posting style then you can't.

I know who you're talking about, OP. I would also like to know if he can be permabanned.

However this is none of your business, this is for the mods to know only, we must stay ignorant.

Indeed. :sadnod:

If someone does break rules while using a proxy though, we just tend to perma ban them. :yep:

What does this mean? What other ways? Would these other ways help to permaban members?
