All you can do is ban their entire IP range and force them to use shitty cgi and socks4/5 proxies. But you know, half the people that hit a site like that are pissed off about some administrative bullshit. Usually, the staff is to blame, and they are merely getting their just reward. Not always, but the majority of the time. If you didn't have stupid, unfair, unjust, nazi-like administrators, harassing valid content, trying to shut people up, playing favorites, and being a general complete douche bag the rest of the time; many of these bans and retaliations wouldn't even have to have happened. But administrators are usually much too arrogant, hard headed and dumb as a bag of rocks to figure that out, until they finally take their last nosedive and are never seen or heard from again, as is often the case. -

2017-06-21 at 3:09 AM UTCbrowser fingerprinting would work well, but only if it weren't advertised so that people knew to randomize specific headers
you could use fingerprinting to isolate a user regardless of their use of proxies or VPN, then fail to register accounts or log in for them without any sort of warning - it would appear to them that the site is malfunctioning, and they wouldn't be able to register to complain about it. -

An ignore button that ghosts users would solve the problem nicely. Too bad I can't code.
No, I mean a form in that you have to answer questions that might be subjective or abstract in nature, and someone actually reads them. It's blatantly obvious when Scronaldo is posting for example, or speccy. New, legit users will look new and legit, as they should. -

Hotel and travel companies were using browser fingerprinting (including the battery data API) to track users across IP addresses and any other fingerprints. So for example if your laptop is at 72.34% battery, that's not going to change if you use a VPN. You can do other stuff too. -
2017-06-21 at 3:15 AM UTCWouldn't work. Do you have any idea how many of the 3,764 accounts already registered are wide open to hijacking? At least 200-300.

wtf, how are they able to retrieve battery data? that shouldn't be passed in browser headers -

There was an API to access it, the intention was that sites would shut off battery draining features if you were low... Ayy lmao.
Mozilla recently nixed it

this ability allows some hackers to modify CPU fan functions and burn out a computer that doesn't monitor such activities
