MikaM:
Why is so hard to ban an acc by subclass of IP? It's the single way all alts/acc of this person will be banned and she/he cant come back never. You deleted her comm and banned her acc yesterday and she made a new one today
Ppl in X's groups already talk to riot and not buy flowers (or spend money on this platform) till this problem wont be solved for good. This person annoys several fandoms: ZLS's, CZY's, YZ's, BL's, YM's, ZLY's.
Please do show respect for the ppl who spend time or/and money on this platform and make their experience better!

This ought to have a response from the Management but allow me. Banning IP ranges has been only moderately helpful for the last 20 years--actually for as long as we've quit defining IP address ranges by "class." It's increasingly complicated, especially as long as we cling to IPv4.
In 2001 it was still pretty straightforward to bring the banhammer down on something as narrow as a Class C (/24) and remove a troublesome customer. But, because the IPv4 address space has been squeezed far past its original design, today you often have tens of thousands of customers of (for example) a cell phone provider sharing that same small public address range. Once we include ASNs and VPNs in the discussion a site treads a very thin line between controlling abuse and excluding legitimate, revenue-generating traffic. In a proverbial sense you might say that a bath today contains so many babies that you have to think hard about throwing out any bathwater.
As a site manager elsewhere I have found that site policy and enforcement trumps technical measures. It's about boots on the ground, not bots in the cloud.
