I for one wish that mods would be more draconian with this kind of troll, and ban their IP address altogether to start with, as it's obviously a blatant and deliberate disregard for the code of conduct. This kind of person can't be reasoned with, and won't be chastened by a warning.
That's what I do.

The problem with IP bans is that they can sometimes catch other, innocent users on the same ISP. Someone on AOL, for example, is never likely to be IP banned.
And then they can ask to be unbanned. Generally, I'll do a search to see who will be affected and then slap on the IP ban.

I disapprove of your idea. Trolls are just a part of life, and we don't want to really hinder our ability to post multiply times on a topic. Or else noone will ever overtake Alorael's post count. Oh wait, that's beside the point.

Trolling has not yet become a real problem here. There's been a few people, but they're all banned as soon as possible. Only lately has there been a real problem, and I'm sure that will fade into distant memory as the recent trolls are rooted out.
