Bad idea so I scrapped it.
Iād hate this
Iād hate this. Terrible idea, unless you want to have your Monzo account details stolen if thereās a Discourse data breach
Good idea but not sure how
I think the IP ban is a thing already?
Weāve seen where that can lead with Reddit if abused

Not always.
You sign up with a email address correct? So they can just link it that way.
Nope. I have an email for general web stuff and one for the most essential things like banking. That way my everyday email is disposable and the other one is protected if thereās a data breach
Same for the mobile number ā I avoid providing it wherever possible as I donāt want a million spam calls if itās leaked
Iām keen for Community feedback on this 
Banning IP address is currently a thing and thereās certain terms which do get filtered, you might notice them if you try to say something rude (this is not an invitation to find out which words )
Misuse of the report feature is something I think needs to be included within our Code of Conduct and would hope everyone would be on board with.

In the grand scheme of things, thereās been 1 or 2 in the last few years?
One was a duplicate that went. One is now being annoying and posting stupid things after being banned once. Just ignore/report and theyāll be gone soon enough. I donāt think there needs OTT measures for the 1%

Agree with the above. Not really seeing much need for any new measures.
I can probably count around 3 from just this week alone that are new
IP bans are largely ineffective anyway, and are easy to circumvent. Most people are using shared ipv4 addresses, so banning those can actually be counterproductive.
This is bad security design. Bad for privacy too. A discord breach would be too telling if threat actors know to link the emails. Then some not very sophisticated social engineering will make light work of a few people and grant them access to your Monzo account.
It could also discourage peopleās willingness to leave open and honest feedback and criticism out of fear of repercussions because thereās no privacy or anonymity.
As much as I support this, is it even reasonably enforceable?

In discourse the moderator approves flags so if they disagree with a certain amount I canāt see it being difficult to revoke flagging permissions for those users.

Someone want to give me an idea seen as though itās been rudely edited

Oh yeah. I hate it when this happens.
Basically there are too many trolls, what suggestions can you think of to help clamp down on them.
Giving your name, phone number, blocking IPs were some of the suggestions.

On what? Theyāve deleted the original comment
Personally I think the 1st post should sit in an area awaiting moderation to see if itās a real person or not, granted itās not foolproof.
New users should be on a tight leash until they hit X amount of posts with no flags etc. Anything flagged up sets to like an auto ban which is then manually reviewed.
Oooh, people would be permanently autobanned waiting for Coral Crew

Need to give them something to do and earn that badge 
Off the back of this the same could be applied to posting abilities too.
If you get a certain amount of posts flagged within a short period then all future posts should be automatically hidden pending a review.
Again this related to a certain individual who has recently been banned and then just went round loads of topics posting their usual low quality comments and getting flagged endlessly.
I think that could be open to abuse ā at the minimum it should be multiple flags from different people
Otherwise someone could just think ā@Ordog is rude Iāll make them disappearā and flag your recent posts
Sounds good but to be flagged (so itās hidden) it needs multiple people anyway.
But you make a good point, I donāt want to be flagged because being rude is a hobby of mine and Iād be lost without it

Once he has his forum badge that will be a foregone conclusion so should be exempt from this for rudeness. Thatās like punishing a puppy for being a puppy.
