But we have been doing this for months already - he simply will not get the point! It is high time we complained to AOL about this person. If that doesn't work after a couple of trys then the whole IP range that he uses should be blocked

This might mean all of AOL. I don't think that's an acceptable option. But if you beg me a little, I'll hack our IP blocking code to

• make IP blocks auto-expire after a while (unless no limit is set), so

that we can use them more effectively

• allow sysops to ban newly created accounts for the first 4 weeks or so

and retrieve the IP address under which they were created.

I'm begging. Please, please purdy please! Although just the thought of banning all of AOL does tickle my Evil (TM) bone....

And if what you propose doesn't work then we can think about the, well unthinkable, solution I mentioned.
