Is IP banning real?

Okay, so I need to prove to someone that scratch has the ability to stop you from making a new account. Someone was asking people if they wanted to chat dirty, and I told them that was inappropriate. When i said she could get banned for it, she said that she could just make a new account. I told her about IP banning, and she said that scratch can't do that and it's impossible. I need some people to prove IP banning is a thing.

Okay, thanks. It seems that multiple people have reported her and all of her comments have been deleted, but if she does it again I'll use that page.

Unfortunately, she could use proxies or change her IP Address. There's nothing you can to do stop that. I've had one bully banned, however they kept creating new accounts and change their IP whenever they were IP banned.

Yes it is real, but she could just change the IP address and proxies. I don't know if firewalls can be used as a way past an IP ban but I'm sure it is possible to use firewalls to get past IP bans.

Those are extremely unlikely scenarios as most children don't know how to do that. I'm 15 and I don't even know!

It happens. I suspect some of my friends know how to do it.

Yes it happens.

I knew how since elementary school, as the school blocked a page that I needed for a school project.
Anyways, yes, it is possible to be IP banned.
