If you solely ban using the ID Kalcor made, you will get these 2 common ones banned within 3 days on an average-popular server... So I wouldn't call it worse-case.

I was just trying to point out that it should not be used as a stand-alone ban system. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough about it, but posts about this feature generally got removed (even the one with Kalcor's reply in it).

IPs used to be very useful in bans, but it seems dynamic IPs got way more widespread than some years ago. Using single IP bans ends up in banning the same people over and over again...
