Hi all,

Bit of a newbie at this concept so bear with me.

I realize that there has been a lot of s**t going on regarding Flashboy21 and rollinhot30 posting bad stuff about me on these forums. Thing is, Snib informed me of the situation and his e-mail was what prompted me to take appropriate action regarding the two ********. Now that I think of it, it wasn't really necessary to notify James about the situation since he or one of the other Admins took care of the situation pretty quickly.

My question is this: If an offender posts spam or some other offending material to this site at one computer and is blocked, is just the IP Address blocked? Couldn't that same person just sit down at another computer and post messages from there? I guess I'm a bit confused here.

Again, I sincerely apologize for the language stuff. It's just that I'm really angry that this even happened. I don't want my reputation as a valuable contributor to these forums to be smeared.

Thank you,
