[QUOTE="§am, post: 94167, member: 9187"] There is no absolute way to ban someone from getting onto this site. You can visit a whole host of wifi areas to get over the IP ban, you can setup multiple accounts with different emails, you could do it from work, from anywhere. Ban by MAC address? There's MAC spoofing/altering software out there that can change your MAC address, and if you have more than one NIC, then again, it's hard to block. Where someone has the will to want to do something, there is a way. It's sad that people stoop so low and have to resort to stealing pictures, passing them off as their own. Those people are just scum of the earth, and good luck to them. I'm with Sam on the watermark placement. Even a large watermark doesn't have to be used, but a well placed one could deter anyone from trying to rip off your pictures. The 'signatures' we all use on our photographs should still be used I think :) [/QUOTE]
