Ban all nicknames that access the site from the same IP address: maybe a maximum of 2 per IP can be allowed as in theory it is possible, though unlikely more than one unique person on a given site would access the board.

Those who use AOL (who employ proxies) will get exactly what they deserve.

The IP address maybe from the Router and several people could be using the same IP address.

This is not a very popular site like BBC where this would be expected to be the case, this is a very marginal board that attracts handful of people from very different places, there is very low probability that more than two people would post from the same site. In any case two or more posts from different nicknames within short period of time should earn auto-ban.

The site I work at has over 500 contractors. of which at least 10% must at some time post on this bored.

All appear from the same IP.

NHS is anotherone. They all use the same BT transparent cache.

Thats probaly half this bored at the moment

Board. Then again, perhaps bored is right.

Lets ban all people with no knowledge of Networking or IP

Son, I've spend good part of my life analysing web log files and visitor's behavior on website for commercial targeting purposes that were highly successful. In my view niche position of this board allows to make a no brainer decision that any two or more posts made close to each other time-wise from different nicks but same IPs were actually made by the same person and thus warrant auto-ban.
