PS: is it even possible to ban someone from a site? I know about IP ban from forum that prevent you from reading them when you need to log in (and ddo is not one of them, I can read everything but I cannot post as my user name was banned by cordoban of many chins)


Yes it is possible to IP ban someone from even viewing a site.

Does SSG have the technical aptitude to do so? Just envision a long stream of question-marks.

Its a lot easier to IP-ban someone at the login server, which I understand is what most people got.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

In an Universe of Static IPv4 yes, but most of us are on DSL or Fiber with a semi dynamic IPv4 ( and a static IPv6 where available ), so getting a new unbanned IP is usually the matter of unplugging your router for 2 minutes and replugging it.

No so. I've been on the same dynamic IPv4 address for the past 2 years.

It really depends on your ISP. Yes, it may technically be a dynamic IP because they charge extra for static, but most give you a long lease time anyway.

Its also possible for SSG to ban you based on your hardware signature, but that's a lot harder.

Is it actually dynamically assigned or is it an IP Reservation given to the MAC address of your router?
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I haven't a clue, I just know it hasn't changed in 2+ years and the bill says "dynamic".

Back in the day when I was running an FTP site from the house, I had some fun with it. I knew we had a dynamic IP but it changed so infrequently(~6 months) that I wouldn't know it had changed until someone complained about the FTP being broken Tongue
