Absolutely!  When GemStone III was available on AOL, the staff was
spending -huge- amounts of time trying to deal with griefers.
Unfortunately, as soon as we'd lock out one account, they'd fire up
another "trial" disk (or create another hacked account with AoHell),
and they'd be back in little more time than it took -us- to perform
the lockout.  The whole situation was a gawdawful nightmare, fun
only for the griefers.
