How best to ensure a banned/blocked user does not re-register immediately under a different email/username?
added by Nick Wilde Jan 30 '14 at 7:42
link
admittedly that could easily want to go to webapps or just SO – Nick Wilde Jan 30 '14 at 7:43
I would say it depends on how you want to block the member from registering again. There are plugins for forums that allow you to do this without editing the core files of the forum or making your own plugin. I think this question should be allowed. – aman207 Feb 1 '14 at 5:29
then upvote it so that we can get our 4 more questions with a minimum score of 10 - (if you still have votes - and vote on some more too) – Nick Wilde Feb 1 '14 at 6:04
