Does putting a member in the Penalty Box only work if the member has a static IP? I just read this in someone's answer.

No that is not accurate at all: the penalty box prevents a user from posting new content, it has nothing whatsoever to do with whether or not they have a static IP address. The mix up is probably based on the idea that the AB staff can have trouble locking out the IP address of a rogue user if their address is dynamic. But locking out an IP address is not at all the same thing as putting someone in the penalty box -- it's only done in very extreme cases, such as a troll who repeatedly opens clone accounts and harasses everyone.
