That's a good idea, but someone could just write a trusted user cookie to get on the site if they tried hard enough. Probably no one would get around it. I still think a blocking cookie would work for the 75% of internet users that don't know how to delete their cookies.

I know the cookie idea will hopefully help with banning people like Michael, bypassing the need for an IP block - but could it work the other way too? I'm not technical so I don't know if this is feasable or not, but could we have a "trusted user" cookie. One that allowed trusted users to skip any block on the IP they are using? It woldn't be needed for most users, but would overrule an IP block in cases like Danny's.
Anyway, as I say, I have no idea if this is possible or desirable
