Self-Voting Crack Down

IP addresses are pretty much willingly given to everyone. Every forum software keeps track of which IP addresses you use for which accounts. Unless you haven't got a proper router, no hacking of any sort will be performed anyways, who do you think these guys are? The forums are way too big to be a IP-address farm, plus the dedication and work they put in to this forum... -
Your IP address is transmitted to every website you visit and 99% of websites will store your address, as well as some basic browser information. Some websites, such as Facebook go as far as tracking which websites you visit and reporting back. Unfortunately outside the UK, this is completely legal.

This paragraph scares me.... LOLZ.
So, I as a noob once... Went and voted up on my own save in a different account... So I'll be perma-banned?!?!? O_O
Also, do the moderators and the admin(s) read convos of everyone?
-
We aren't that scary, a few votes is fine, we only get the obvious abusers (generally 4+ accounts)
I think Simon (the only admin) has access to convos, but he doesn't go around reading them unless there is a reported issue/spamming

FiRE_FOX had great saves.. Too bad he was just a bit too greedy and sorta "went-over-the-edge". He sorta deserved that. Also, how did we come to know about the... extreme measures he took for fame?
However, sort of off-topic (if not already ;D), is there a ban that can get people for just a year, or for at least 6 months? I know some would just do it all over again, but still, a permaban is pretty..... (nvm stupid me..)..
