You have NO idea.
I'm not sure that's true. Having used this forum for many years I'm well aware of the efforts the offending person is prepared to go to (accounts so numerous they'd require a spreadsheet to keep track of, some of which are set up years in advance to avoid suspicion when they're activated fully at a later date) but even so there's still effort required switching between machines, particularly when that person is using two accounts to have a conversation with himself. So long as there are multiple IPs and he's not using a proxy I can only imagine he's currently studying/working somewhere with banks of machines. Like Zooo I'm no expert at how this all works exactly, but I'm at a loss to think how else he could do what he does and not get caught breaking the site rules.
I realise I've probably spent more time than I should thinking about the technical aspects of this but it beats thinking about the sort of life a person prepared to spend their Christmas day trolling a comedy website must have had. That way lies true madness.

You don't have to use a different computer, most ISP don't give you a static Ip number so every time you reset your router you get a new IP number, Then there are IP shields. Blah blah technical stuff.
Right, so maybe it is just an admin issue then - that the mods aren't able to police the system when someone is that determined. Or at least they have better things to do with their time.
