Looks like they came here to just advertise their kitchen tops and otherwise spam up the home gloaters thread.

Quite a few members like that; if we banned them all there'd be no one left.

Could a mod perhaps move this post ...

... and the subsequent ones to a separate thread? user102630 may not be versed in the finer points of the forum to do it him- or herself.

True. I tried to nudge them in the right direction.

He's discovered VPNs, damn him!

Out of interest, what does a webmaster do about users making use of VPNs to obfuscate their IP?

Well, what one can do vs what I do are different questions.

Most will look for non-IP ways of identifying a user, such as storing tracking information in the client (local storage, cookies, timing information via CSS leaks), or by fingerprinting clients and using that to de-anonymise visitors regardless of IP.

These are effective, and easy to do.

I philosophically am against intrusive tracking... so what I do... is just ban people and consider it a cost exercise. Their effort to register email addresses and post spam exceeds mine to ban them.
