Back in the day the CTH anti slavery thing managed to nab two accounts. Got some accounts nuked for piracy (got like 2 discord accounts hit for that RIP), had a family member that apparently was a reddit user too (didn't learn this until many months later) and trolled a little too hard somewhere and we both ended up with an IP and ban-evasion ban.
Got banned for being a GDZ poster from some sub that somehow ended up being yet another site-wide ban, started using vpns, browser cookie games, etc around that time.
I remember in an IRC chat someone mentioning they try and avoid getting banned on a site because their dad used it too and would notice an IP ban. My parents barely even got into Facebook let alone other online communites.
