I see that smaller networks can be a problem too. I wonder if he can track the ethernet address of the machine that's being used, and that might solve the problem of going through a router.
I guess that in my case, the point is that both of the users are already authenticated users with (normally) different addresses. It is apparent that we are distinct if the history is looked at at all.
This does bring up another potential problem. What about those who post from public or cluster computers at colleges or libraries?
I can understand that he wants to keep people from posting with multiple usernames, but prohibiting the use of a single computer, public computers, or different computers behind a firewall seems really limiting, and likely to result in just another problem: multiple users sharing a single username.
Just my 2 cents.
