cookies vs other ideas

at the moment I am using a simple construct

document.cookie("adblock=true");

so what is the simplest way to detect repeat offenders, it seems that the recidivism rate is rather high

perhaps even a cookie for number of attempts etc?

this way I can change the message or take other steps such as banning the user etc

Cookies are stored on the user's machine. Seems kinda counter productive. They can just erase the cookie (or not allow it in the first place).

given IP addresses are not constant....

I was hoping the user was a moron and that they do not realize the cookies are present

so is there an easy conditional to check the cookie and dump the blocker onto some blackhole malware site

So savvy enough to know how to bypass your ads, but so stupid they're not familiar with cookies? Seems pretty unlikely.

I'm certainly not going to help you do anything so horrible. If you don't want them visiting your site, fine. The above is unacceptable.

the idea i had was to use

var busted = document.cookie("adblock")
if (busted) href = "https://www.chillingeffects.org/";

this is the the place to go for copyright and trademark
