It's not in Kao's favor. He's right in the fact it's damn near impossible to stop someone from going to a website with the large amount of ways to get onto a different public ip. Can't ip ban all of them.
If you a willing to lose access to any legitimate accounts you have posted with before decideing to go spammer, sure. A brand new account, with no ties to anything, with a suitably experianced operator is very difficult to track down. But people are failable. Proxies are slow, so they get turned off at that crucial moment. Or people decide they want to brag. There are other aspects of account creation that I am not going to get into but are very useful for us when tracking an attack. In this case, I have Proof's IP address. I know what DSL modem service he uses, and I have sufficient documentation of past issues to ensure that when I make the formal abuse report here shortly, his service will be shut off and he will be blacklisted from that provider. There really aren't that many service providers in a given area, and mommy is going to be really pissed at proof when she discovers the internet doesn't work anymore...
Edit: there was supposed to be another post there. it isn't there though, sooo....
Proof, you failed to turn on your proxy if you were intending to indeed mask your IP. I have the one you used there, and I have your prior activity. You want to play hardball here? Alright, so be it. We'll do it the hard way.
