The only real way to prevent multiple user names is with a verifacation system. IP is not a sure way unless you involve law enforcement or the courts.

Mutiple user names is against the TOS.

What am I missing here Scott?

Someone that wants to troll will just pull a different card, or create a virtual card number, or get a prepaid card etc... Verification based on CC isn't watertight either. I still claim that the problem isn't bad enough to implement something this harsh. When a board becomes completely unusable it might be a good plan, but FT is nowhere near that stage yet, IMHO.
