Just my 3 cents: How about if Fizzer blocked copying/saving of images from players profiles? If you chose a rare or personal ( in the sense that you have made it and there is no copy floating in the Internet) photo nobody could effectively impersonate you? Or am I missing something?
Matma Rex what do you think about it? I seem to recall that you know thing or two about coding?

I know, and Fizzer said that he didn't need any moderators because he could handle everything on Warlight.net right now, he doesn't even want any unpaid volunteered moderators.

Fizzer either is doing this on purpose or has really overestimated his potential. As I see it, this site will soon get full of trolls who will make duplicate accounts and try to make people look bad. But you know what? The troll picking on me just went too far and became ridiculous, so I plainly don't give a fuck anymore.

Fizzer can block IPs from creating new usernames.

That's unfortunately not possible. You can make saving images a bit harder via a variety of ways, but they can all be circumvented - and anyway it's a moot point, since you can just use [PrintScreen](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PrintScreen), cut it up in Paint and that's it.

Sorry, this idea is so broken for so many resons I won't even bother enumerating them all. IP-banning is not a panaceum for all problems - it's too easy to accidentally ban good guys (public library computers, many personal computers having the same IP, dynamic IPs) or to evade the ban (dynamic IPs, proxies, TOR).

Yeah, how could I miss PrintScreen?
Looks like the only sure way to fight trolls is to convert to Buddhism and chant " Vostro is not my enemy, my anger is my enemy,Vostro is not my enemy, my anger is my enemy,Vostro is not my enemy, my anger is my enemy..."

Sorry gilgamesz, but I don't think so. All this fuss about my posts was basically made out of me being strict. I don't need to actually get angry in order to look like that. I can even feel perfectly cool and still make people think that I am very angry. Now for example I am thinking of that troll and laughing, because he made a mistake I did not expect... I am no longer angry, as you can understand, so people hey, chill down.
