I didn't follow everything that happened, so please forgive me if I missed something, but I think part of the problem was that Dinah can't block a user at the IP level, so a naughty user can just keep creating new IDs and keep kicking up a raucous. Perhaps you could give her a phone number to call when she suspect this is happening, and some computer operator could help with this? He/she could block the IP address or contact the ISP or whatever it is you do.
This would allow Babblers to still feel anonymous, but would allow Dinah to get help when you are not around. I'm making the assumption that there are operators around who assist with things like job submission, backups, etc. Can these people be asked to help with this task?
Thanks. em
