no... it's not.
i always check first... to see if any other members are using the same ISP. let's say the IP is 123.45.67.8... i check 123.45.67.*, if no one is using it i then check, 123.45.*, if no one is using that IP i ban it.
so what if an innocent user tries to register that has that IP afterwards? well, you can use validation like he said, or just not care like i do.
i have tons of members... not looking for bigger numbers.
