Problem with IP banning: Most systems use dynamic IPs, outside ISPs who need it for billing.
My university uses DHCP as to 95% of others.. So banning and IP especially during a school year wouldn't help much. This goes for dial-up as well.
They can just ban the entire university. As Shishka stated earlier, it's just as easy to ban an IP range as it is a single address.
Think of it this way, if you know somebody who spams this board, and you use their same ISP, it would be in your best interest to beat the living -blam!- out of them before they get you blacklisted from Bungie.net and all the extended Halo 2 options.
