    Yeah, banning by IP from such a big website is pretty silly on the site admin’s part. Tons and tons of places share 1 to a small handful of IPs (e.g. apartment complexes, school dorms, etc).

      Reddit still uses IP bans. It’s crazy how far behind the times some tech companies are

      Also, most people don’t even have a static ip address so they might have banned a different location altogether and the banned ip address moved.

      And it’s still not worth the money and a lot easier to simply temp-ban via IP.
