You may have to. The mud I play on got tired of idiots logging on every few days that A) woudn't accept being banned, B) refused to read help files (specifically edicate and law related ones), C) refused to follow the rules when they did know them and D) cussed out the admin when they talked to the players. Result: If you had an account from AOL, you can still use it, but no new characters from there are possible 'ever', even if you are a current player.

Not sure if you can only ban new players like AoD did, but as bad of a solution as it is, the key issue came down to AOL = 90% of all users, which = 90% of all idiots that logged in. A very simple if ackward equation when considered the potential player base you end up losing. The alternative though unless you run a mud you have to pay to play...
