IP based banning will create very unfavorable results because how many ISPs use a dDNS system to distribute ips to their customers you might end up banning a person you don't want to.  Best method of banning is to use logins to get to areas that require an email confermation to use, secondly a capacha on the login script/registration will help.  Thridly tracking IPS is good because if you can catch a person abusing your terms and conditions and track when it happened you can report to the ISP that you had a violation at this time on this IP and request further information about that client.  Another tactic is a cookie banning system.  If you put enough of these in place you will eventually chase them away or get them in trouble with their ISP/local law enforcement.  But a IP based Banning will not work because of proxies, ip leases, ip pools etc etc

Cooldude is right about everything but the cookie banning system. Cookie banning is pretty pointless.

Its so pointless that they might overlook it.  The idea to making banning work is just overloading them so much that they can't handle it.
