Right, so it seems it's a new, clean IP every time.
I'm curious - how would one accomplish that? Are there ways for any old dweeb to access tons of IPs, aside from the usual public proxies and VPNs or tor? The solutions I can come up with all seem a bit hardcore for just trolling a forum.
I think there's enough proxies and TOR exit nodes for him to create a new account each time. When someone is IP banned, the IP doesn't just get blacklisted as that would be a nightmare for legitimate users using VPNs, proxies and TOR. It instead gets a certain number of "units of evil". The bigger the number, the bigger the fee you have to pay to create an account with that IP. If I'm not mistaken, after a certain number of IP bans over a short period of time, the IP gets blacklisted for a while until it "cools down" and becomes available for usage again (with all the "units of evil" I think).
