what is the best way to ban a user?

[Jennifer Harnetty]

We use the "flag as spammer" function to ban users. Does that automatically ban their IP addresses too? Is there some other way we should be doing this? We have discovered that a user who was banned is coming back on the same IP with a different username and email address. 

 

Thanks,

Use the Ban button instead....

And select the IP addresses (not selected by default)

If the user isn’t a spammer, I wouldn’t use this. I would use warning system which has an option to ban the member and you can leave a message to the staff with the reason for banning.
