Now this is an awesome forum rule...

BobaFett72

Checking out a Jeep forum on the suggestion of a poster.. here are their bylaws!

NO FREE EMAIL ADDRESSES, No yahoo, gmail, et.al.

and...i love this!
Banned Users: If you have been banned by JeepForum and attempt to register again using some means to get around the ban, such as using another email address, you agree to a $5,000 dollar reinstatement fee. By clicking on agree below you agree to this fee and agree to pay the fee even if you are banned again. You also agree that any disputes will be resolved in Texas courts.

thats awesome

oh Collectors Universe... I have a suggestion or two for you LOL

I bet they also require posters NOT to be disruptive and to actually contribute to conversations as well, and not to antagonize other posters as well.

Axtell you better pray this board doesn't start a policy like that or you're gone! (again)

I have a suspicion that no court would agree to enforce this.

i too have that suspicion, but someone we know might just pay it...

It's a misconception that people can be blocked from a forum with an IP address. The thing is that a server such as AOL uses basically a different IP address each time the user logs on. The IP address stays the same until the user logs off, then it changes again next time.

But banning people from their server e-mail address is basically effective, even though with AOL you do get 7 different screen names and the names can be changed. But with many servers, especially the cheaper servers which the trolls usually use, they only get one server address e-mail. So requiring that upon registration, and if that gets banned, it's difficult for the troll to logon again unless they change servers.

Of course the trolls could use a free e-mail such as Yahoo, etc., but if the forum doesn't allow these free e-mails then a ban can be very effective. The person operating the Jeep Forum knows what they're doing.
