I know your IP can change via mac or IP.

The next person that comes along and has that IP can go complain
to the ISP and then maybe these scumbag ISPS will finally start
to do something instead of letting the abuse continue on.

Also the IP address is not immediately recycled either if it has been
pulled it is usually about 48 hours before the IP goes back into the
pool again on a dynamic IP system like cable and DSL modems.

If SE GMs are seeing a constant abuse of the free accounts then
they NEED to be able to have a way to stop that and stop the
people from coming back and creating MORE new free accounts
over and over again. banning the gold spammers are NOT going
to help if they can just laugh and create a brand new free account
instantly like they can right now.

Bottom line is once the ISP removes the offending customer then
the ban against the IP could be removed.

And chances are Comcast or any of the other big cable / DSL
companies here in North America are not going to be affected
and that these scumbags that sell gold are in China, Korea, and
other Asian countries.

Bottom line is the ISPs need to take some responsibility if there is
abuse even if it is Comcast or any of the major cable / DSL
companies.

I am tired of this abuse. If SE can NOT find a way to deal with the
trial account issue then they should TURN OFF the trial accounts
until they can because that is what is being abused by these gold
spammers.
