i had a problem with a troll a few years ago that would use IP proxy sites to get around detection. he was able to post a few disruptive messages each time before i could be certain it was him and could ban him. eventually i realized he used the same password all the time so i would compare all new users passwords to the encrypted password the troll was using. he couldn't figure out how i was able to ban him before he even posted anything and left the forum shortly later.

you might want to add a feature to this mod where users who have the same pass as a known troll need to be authorized before they can post... or something like that. its not fool proof since two people might pick the same pass just out of shear luck but the odds of this are slim.
