It is possible to get a persons MAC id, it all depends on the forums config... and I dont think Brandon wants to answer this question in public for obvious reasons...

Reg. changing IP addresses: most probably when you change IP addresses its in the same range, i.e. 233.25.192.198, basically if they do ban your IP, they ban 233.25.192.* , so it bans the whole range, rather than the single IP. It is not likely that two members will be in the same range...

Also, about that "certain someone", who has two accounts, I can bet that "certain some people" know who that "certain someone" really is...

I can just suggest that we stop worrying and let the mods do their jobs.. it all works out well
