We give 1 warning.  Second time.  Banned for 1 month.
If they sign back up and get a second, banned for 1 year.

I haven't had to do a permanent ban yet.

Subject: [AFMUG] customers with repeat DDoS attacks

Has anyone come up with a successful strategy for customers who manage to 
provoke repeated DDoS attacks against them, other than to disconnect their 
service?

I've got one who just got their 3rd strike after 2 previous warnings.

In 20 years in this business, I've only had this happen once previously.  That 
customer begged and pleaded and said it wouldn't happen again, he needed 
Internet for his business, he said it was his son's fault and he would ban his 
son from using the Internet.  So I turned him back on and of course it happened 
again.

Given the pandemic, I'd like to think there is something I could do, like 
require a detailed explanation of what happened (I assume one of his gamer kids 
keeps talking smack and getting booted), and how he has dealt with the 
situation.  But given my limited previous experience, I expect that would just 
be gullible on my part, like Charlie Brown and the football.
