jgee, GR don't need anyone clever enough to find the RRer,

The Reporter is linked on their system to every post RR'd

So GR do know who reported which posts and they also keep a log of all offending posters and all those who report posts

Edit, The RRer is only anonymous to other members and NOT to GR which is also why the system is open to abuse

Still makes me uneasy though..............if they need to hide their ISP it makes alarm bells ring for me.

Maybe because I am an older mum who has had to get my head round the internet and the dangers it can hold for children and young adults it still makes me too suspicious sometimes.

Thank you Rose, but I find it hard to believe anyone would pay to set up a Proxy server just to cause problems on here

That would seem to be more useful to hide other interests they don't want anyone to find out about *shudders*

Sick and sad :-(

Hi Kitty , yes their IP number could be banned, but anyone with a little knowledge can set up a proxy and so it is routed through a series of IPs and can't be tracked back unless you spend the time and money to do so, ( son tells me so my wording may not be right lol) xx

This makes it clearer :-)

Anonymous Proxy

This type of proxy server indentifies itself as a proxy server, but does not make the original IP address available. This type of proxy server is detectable, but provides reasonable anonymity for most users.

Distorting Proxy

This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server, but make an incorrect original IP address available through the http headers.

High Anonymity Proxy

This type of proxy server does not identify itself as a proxy server and does not make available the original IP address.

Rose "They won't get a ban because they will be reporting from either a second account or one or more free accounts....betcha! it's a 'no risk' strategy. "

Is there a way if banning using their ISP number?

Or have I got that wrong too :-S I am not very computer literate :-(
