Hello Folks,
I read that people who abuse usenet can have their computer IP address
traced and they can be blocked from accessing the newsgroup.
I also learn that for private users(in contrast to company users) the
IP addresses type are assigned dynamically. In other words, each time a user
log in to the ISP network, the person will be assigned a different IP
address by random.
So technically, how can the usenet people block the future access of a
blacklisted guest when the guest will be assigned a different IP address in
the future?

Thank you.

If the guest is using a dynamic IP but is not authenticating with a
user/pass, then the guest's ISP stops them via their RADIUS server. If
they use a user/pass like most commercial servers, you ban their user/pass

At random, yes, but only from a range the ISP holds.

The ISP's system would keep a record of which user was assigned which of
its IP addresses at a given time.
