Rarity FTW

This may be one of the "super secret powers" that aren't supposed to be mentioned, and if this shouldn't be posted, then please lock it.

Is it true that the Master Forum Ninjas can IP ban a user? I know that some websites have that ability and I was wondering if b.net did also.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

No, Master ninjas can't IP ban.

If that was true, many more people would have IP bans.

Yeah, I don't know for sure. But it wouldn't make sense to have that ability and not use it on all the people that get banned and quickly make another account over and over.

Edit: Unless it's so secret that even the master forum ninjas don't know about it!

This, they most likely don't have that ability anyways.

But assuming you don't proxy they can still trace your IP and come and beat you up.

I can imagine that any of the Bungie employees can do just about anything to the B.net.

An IP ban would be too limited. It would be too easy to get around.

It's a little irritating that people keep saying this.

Honestly? If somebody really, REALLY wants to cause problems on this website, then there is no real way to stop them short of going to their house and beating up their scrawny/tubby selves.

But most people aren't like that. So yes, IP banning WOULD work most of the time. Why? Because most people aren't aware of all the ways to bypass things. You people are giving idiots too much credit.

Not that IP bans are a good idea- I'm convinced they shouldn't be here for other reasons. But saying they're bad because they "wouldn't be effective?" Please.

I am pretty sure they can, and do when appropriate. However, it isn't that hard to change your ip address.

You're asking the wrong question. The correct question is, "Is it true that Master Forum Ninjas can resurrect your long-lost beloved pets?"

And the answer, unfortunately, is no.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

No Kenan & Kel reference, by anyone?
