what if we had are own ID so that if we share the computer with another person (with another account) and THEY misbehave, then ONLY that acount will get banned (it seems fair, but then again it is alot of people.)

That sounds like a good idea

Yes, but it would make it too easy for the person to make another account.

'ID Numbers'? Do you mean 'IP adresses'? These cannot be changed. And it would also make it easy for people to make double accounts. This isn't possible. And as this has been stated in other topics like this, just behave. ;]

Actually, we do have our own ID. For instance, steet's ID is "1". I believe steet uses it in many of the PHP scripts here, with auto increment-many of the scripts wouldn't work if the ID sudenly dissappeared.

If you share the computer with another person with another account, their account will get banned if they misbehave. In special cases if you don't log out and they reek havoc, and you get banned, talk to the mods. But I believe you may be speaking of something more complex, such as an IP ban?

In that case, I believe you are talking about "ID"'s we could get banned by (IP's), except that if we have the same computer we have ID's attached to our IP's. What I mean to say is...Well, it's best explained in an example.



I don't believe this is what you meant, but just in the case that you actually did. They way you said your suggestion sort of gave me that idea.

If that is NOT what you mean, and you are just talking about ID (IP) bans, I believe steet said IP bans wouldn't work because AOL gives out the same IP to several people. Also, you can use other computers...there are endless problems.

This is becoming a long post so I'll wrap it up. If you actually mean our member ID, that is extremely useless because steet and mods can ban us by account name, which I suppose steet has already set to be identified by our ID's. Sorry if I confuse you.

P.S. My "ddd" key is extremely sensitive.

This already exists, and this is called "username banning". We only do this on special occasions.
The id is either your number in the database or your username. Most of the time, we need to ban a computer because there's NO WAY to know who's behind. People who have 20 accounts often say they are to their sisters, brothers, cousins etc...which is hard to believe most of the time.
So, sorry but if one of you get banned, then you're all banned.
