Habanerose: Yeah, while he's a douche and all... Banning should only be used against alts and scammers.
No, he's exactly one of those few people that would deserve a ban due to their behaviour.

Tarm: Noooooo!
I would lose my audience!

Solei: Lol!
I very much doubt you're that unpopular here.
Well I tend to be "a bit" irritating now and then. :P

I love Tarm.

I can't imagine that's going to help his popularity much. :P

tinyE: THIS WAS NOT my idea and I don't want ANYONE banned!!!

If being an asshole is going to mean getting banned, then myself, and a few of you others, are going to need to be on the 1st train out.
I don't believe you said that but it's in print so it must be true or are my eyes seeing things.

phaolo: Lol that title.. is this bait?
Also, Gog seems powerless to really ban bad people anyway..
I'm in no way tech savvy but can't they ban based on IP?

Theoretically and technically, yes. It's a bad idea though, as IP addresses rarely are static. Turning off your internet connection for a short while likely gets you a new address (and you can just run a couple commands to get another one, depending on how your ISP is set up), and the one you previously had is free to get grabbed by another customer of the same ISP.

F-Secure has a program that hides an IP address.See for yourself as I can't link.

Oh they have. They can forum ban without affecting other aspects of the account. But I can't say I've seen any evidence of this apart from spammers and that one lunatic.

Sites that have done that have banned a lot of innocent people into the bargain. It's a 'nuke the site from orbit' option if ever there was one. Not one that GOG would use.

Makes sense. Man, now I have a desire to watch aliens again.

Sure, and there are loads of ways to get around an IP ban. The answer was not really intended to be for "is it possible to ban a user by IP address" but rather "is it possible to ban an IP address", which is not the same thing in any way. As usual, I scanned over the question, misread it, and replied to one with a completely different meaning.

I've never understood how a artist obsessed with fetuses and vaginas could create one of the scariest film monsters ever.

On second thought....

At least there's no phallic symbolism... oh wait...
