Yes, also though and this could be a problem. What if more people start doing this and say for example, they had a sibling who was using their computer to make an account somehow got onto their account and posted something nasty or whatever and then the innocent one got into trouble for something that wasn't their fault..but couldn't prove it as its the same IP address thus causing trouble for the other one.


Maybe there should be a new rule which states only one account per IP address on the SZ? To avoid confusion like this in the future and also to prevent people making more than one account and saying its someone else when really it isn't. :)

The problem with that is that would stop people from being able to legitamitly (sp?) reregister to have a new username.

Hmm pity, because I have a feeling that people may take advantage of this.

If they do, they get IP banned. Simple.

That has probably happened before, but if your using a shared computer, I guess you could untick the 'Remember me' option. :unaware:

That would also bring up problems. I've seen a number of people with the same IP as me, except a few digits are different, or just 1.

For example: your IP has the same 5 first digits of mine. It's only because we are on the same ISP, but would mean that rule you suggested wouldn't be much use.

But if people on the same ISP didn't have the same IP then that would be a good rule. :(

Yeah but how could we prove it?

I am also starting to believe they're the same person, Bec just says stuff in her sig that makes me suspicious (however you spell it.)

Yeah, the way in which Bec acts slightly dumb (no offence) is the classical thing to do when having duplicate accounts to make everyone think they are not the same person.

Of the two, my vote would go to Pure. However, neither are to my particular liking.
