yea i didnt say much about ip banning thing because i also have a lot to learn about it but as far as i know now ip ban is not a good way or a logical way to do it, as BlueIumi said it can block multiple users since ip is just a a logical address and the ip address we see is most likely the ip address of ISP router , blocking an ISP router blocks access to website to many other who uses the same ISP router,( basically whole LAN is blocked who uses that router)
my country is a small country and there are only 2 licensed ISP in whole country , so i guess for eg if someone block one of that service provider(must be using many routers though xD) almost half of the country of 300000 population will be blocked aahahhaxD
also using proxy servers a guy who knows what to do can easily avoid ip ban
a much better solution is MAC address blocking since no other network interface card in world is produced with same MAC address, hence MAC address directly determines the computer(NIC card) of the guy needed to be blocked, yet still i think this also isn't perfect
there are still many things i duno about these things lol im just a guy only started learning networking, so i guess my idea may have flaws, and scott being a a more experienced programmer im sure he knows a lot about it hahahahaxD
