I have 2 abusive members (BROTHERS). They have opened up several accounts on my forum using different names, email and proxy ip's often based in america (our forum is uk based and membership is largely uk users).

Is there any way I can deal with these 2 people ?

Thanks in advance - Glenn

The downside of a proxy blocker is if you ever accidentally ban your normal IP range (you wouldn't be the first and certainly not the last) re-entering your forum becomes more complicated.

If you can, use Admin Approval for new members. Those geeks'll soon get tired of their games. A good mod for idiots like them is Annoy User but do check out the support thread for updates so it works beyond RC3...
