The software being used here is called VBulletin. I've never used it on the admin end, but I have used phpBB, which is the other very common forum software. I know that on phpBB, there is a user log that logs everytime we all log in, the date, time and IP address. From that is an option to ban that IP address. I am sure that this software has the same type of feature.

In fact, I can tell you that is how the Admin knows that the three listed spammer user names were all the same person. I know it doesn't take a lot of detective work to figure that out, but that would be a definite.
