Question about forum banning

[Darksoul]

When forum administrators don't want someone to ever come back they threaten to file a report with the banned person ISP regarding internet trespass. My question are, does such a report really exist? and to who or what is this report addresed to? does it even exist? as far as I know internet trespass is a smudgy subject maybe you people could further enligthen me on the subject

Have to say I have never heard of that happeneing. In the forums I am part of the usual response is to ban the account and/or the IP address of the poster.

Not saying it does not happen, but I have never heard of Internet Trespass applied to forums. Generally I hear of it in conjunction with adware and spyware. I am not a lawyer so take what I am saying with that in mind.
