What do you suggest as ideal? I've dealt with a handful of such members on my 10 years of running forums. Some become creative -- changing proxies, running IP randomizers, etc, etc. In this case, if the member has found an IP that is not logged in the spammer global database that TMO uses, then mods and admins just continue with their tasks of coordinating and banning -- the staff are persistent as well.

And why is there a separate list of infractions and rules where some rules appear as infractions but some infractions don't appear as rules. Whats the difference?
Again that infraction rule is for members who have infractions or banned and creating new accounts.

but i misbehave again before 30 days and fined for 10 points so does that gives me a total of 40 points and again suspended but for 7 days?
You have 27 days not 30 but yes, you got it.
