Griefing is so bad with the new enrollment system it's not tollerable. I don't have the time to abuse report every time I'm attacked from someone that is one day old. I have some quesitons.

1.)
Is the new Computer Signature which is being collected even used with abuse reports and cross refferenced or put on file to identify these people.

2.)
PLEASE enhance the BAN system so you can ban ty COMPUTER SIGNATURE or so it happens automatically when you ban a person.

You will not have to expose anyone's computer signature. Just a little check box that says "ban this computer signature" that you can check when you ban a person. Or just have it do it automatically.

It is REDICULOUS to abuse report an ban a one day old avatar when in five minutes they will return with a new name.

PLEASE ENABLE ABUSE REPORTS AND BANNING BY COMPUTER SIGNATURES!

If you can do this I won't care how many avatars a griefer makes. To me they are one person (or how many computers they own).

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE >>> ABUSE REPORT AND BANNING BY COMPUTER SIGNITURE!

Thank you.

Hey again Chilly! In response to both 1.) and 2.), our methods of identification are an important tool, but they certainly don't supplant the human element. Also, they're certainly not the only option we're using--it sounds like being "attacked" involves pushing. You may have already heard about our per-parcel push restrictions that are forthcoming. Also, per-avatar push restrictions are also being investigated. So if you get shot? You stand still.

Rotating abusive alts also aren't allowed--if our Abuse Team reads the details of your abuse reports, looks up our records, determines that yup, a bunch of "revolving door" avatars have enough identifying info to more-than-likely be the same person, they'll probably get banned.
