To evict someone from the boards will lead to them registering as another user.
I don't disagree with this but wonder:
If it takes a moderator 30 seconds to delete a thread or a user, but it takes 8 minutes for someone to register, how many times will somebody re-register before they realize that there are easier targets somewhere else?
Maybe it's that attitude you take with car thieves: If they want the car, they're gonna get it. But if you make 'em work for it a bit, they''ll likely go for something easier?
The key might be making registration a complete enough process so that there's some info to track someone, and they have to put in a touch of effort to join, but not make it so difficult that legitimate people are turned away.
Remember that in terms of marketing, "looking" as an anonymous user of the forum is still available.
I'm not trying to tell anyone at Axiom their business, just throwing some food for thought out there in case there's a useful tidbit!
