Methods of getting around "teh ban"

I have to say while i never get in trouble i find it fascinating how on this and other forums some clever people keep coming back from the dead... How is ti being done?

Noone specific or nothing specific...I'm just curious as to how after being banned some people are able to reenter under a different user name...are they using a different computer?

from what i gather sometimes the ban is only of the user's name and email address. sometimes (the ones that don't come back) are banned based on their ip address.

i was banned at one point. i linked a fight from a website that had one of those "local girls in your area" date finder ads in a banner a long the side of the page and they were nude so it got me the boot. after like a month or so i made a new account and here i am. mine was a case of looking dumb and acting stupid because i knew teh pr0n = teh ban but i didn't realize (or pay attention i guess) to that advertisement so i linked the fight without thinking. i guess considering i am not some sort of major thread and i don't ever troll or anything i was allowed to come back.

A proxy server. You can set up your browser to go through one, and it will be the IP of the proxy that shows up instead of yours... so whichever site you're visiting doesn't know your real IP. A lot of people use them just to be anonymous even if they're not causing shit.

Are you planning on being banned then?
From what I know, it is literally just your current user name and E-Mail.
The mods even know what users were called in their previous names.
