How do you determine if two users are the same person?
i need help on this
in general, IP address is used to find the duplicate accounts (registered IP, posts IP, last known IP ..)

example plugin for MyBB 1.6.x => multiple registrations detector
So if I have an account I visit through Comcast at home, and my neighbor visits the forum through his Comcast connection,we might be confused as being the same person? IPv4 is running out, so many ISPs issue internal IPs and use shared public IPs through NAT.
