Ian Harmer, barmy though eloquent late nineties progressionist and seller of the TURNAROUND system, word-for-word.

I am not being sarcastic, or flippant, nor am I trying to start trouble here, okay?
Also, please forgive my lack of knowledge about website management and the like.

Isn't it possible for the webmaster of this site to somehow identify the poster you mention and/or others that disrupt the page frequently, through their machine's ID, or some other type of electronic identification, and then sort of "lock them out" of this site?
Just wondering.

Thanx to those who respond in a non-condescending manner.

The page in question this time (progressions) is "barmy" enough. I'm surpirised anyone caught it with the other shananigans going on there.

Not really, though your question is far from silly and has come up before. There is some kind of draconian means of preventing a specific ISP (your computers signature) from using a website but it can take out civillians in the same area.
Even given that you can do that though, how do you stop that individual using a public access terminal, or setting up a different ISP with the same computer? This is what Doug Grant, a notorious kook who ruined the rec.gambling.blackjack newsgroup, did when numerous complaints were issued to his service provider(s). That route just does not work unfortunately.

The entire site is not at this time a completely open forum.
You would care to make it worse? To experience what you are thinking about, abandon this site and use no other site but RGE21.

...as I understand it is that not only the specific poster would be barred from the site, but anyone else who posts from the same ISP would also be barred. That wouldn't work. So, the postbusters do the best they can and try to keep most of the garbage out. Sonia/Puiu and his various incarnations are usually pretty easy to spot after a couple of posts.

Cyclops, there's a very good and deep explanation about internet privacy and security in the latest issue of Arnold Snyder's magazine.

Take care.

I think you are being far too polite.

No one of any worth responds in a pissy fashion, regardless of the question.

Just my two cents...

I'm probably a little "gun shy".
I recently asked a legit question elsewhere and several regular got kinda angry, or at least acted "put out" with with me. Think they thought I was either "goofing" on them or that I am just plain stupid. Neither is the case.
@^!
Maybe I'm thought of as just a practical joker by some. Though I am serious about my playing, I guess its understandable, since I do like to joke around sometimes on these pages.

So....I was just trying to make my intentions crystal clear and maybe tread a little lighter as well.
Take care,
