Hi,

Is it possible to add hardware bans next to ip bans. Sometimes there are users who just keep unbanning themselves using ip changers,  vpn whatsoever and this could be quite effective to get rid of them. 

Of course there are ways to bypass this, but it's just another protection and the user wouldn't even know how he has been banned.

Let me know what you think.
Perfect Idea Smile
This is not entirely possible. At most you'd see the MAC of the VPN or gateway.
While this is not possible, it is possible to ban them based on their IP address and account. Discord does this for guilds ("servers") that people can create there. And if you really wanted to, you can blacklist their "email" to.
