You wouldn't want to know how many forums "I" was banned from just because some total stranger - who happened to have been yesterday's owner of my current IP address - had misbehaved.
As a moderator on another forum i agree that IP bans do not work.
Short term user name bans seem to work which can lead to a permanent ban for repeated infractions. I assume mods have access to IP logs and can see where new members are coming from. (ie banned users trying to return)
