1: You can't IP ban. Even if you CAN IP ban, you CAN'T.
2: No website administrator would agree to closing their website to new members, for so many reasons, the very suggestion is pretty hilarious. THINK.
In case you think about "checking out" every potential Noob...
3: You can't "assess" each new member, as it's SIMPLE to convince anybody that you're somebody completely different, with the use of some minor variations in spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure.
Knowing this, if you DID try to assess new members, you'd most likely do so almost expecting every noob to be somebody trying to deceive you, and I'd garauntee a few unfair bannings would come out of this.
There's really no solution...however, I'd suggest you work on your internal moderation problems first...
