I can't believe that in the 21st century site owners are still unable to ban someone from their servers. There should be a law requiring ISP's to intentionally show those MAC ID's to the web servers. It would spell the end for every troll in existence.

Although the idea of giving away those IDs is good, there is a problem with this. What about multiple people with forum accounts at one forum in the same household? Because by banning their modem MAC ID or whatever, you would basically ban everyone using that house's computer connection.
The other problem is that of networks, as it would seriously screw up school/college/university/workplace networks, where the students/staff etc use various computers depending on a few factors, and if more than one person uses on computer, this idea of banning would make them think THEIR account has been banned. Plus, all the troll would need to do is use a different computer in that network.
