A bit off topic but to answer your question,

When you login to the forum, your computer's IP address is automatically recorded. If the same 2 accounts login from the same IP all the time you can conclude they are probably the same person.

So unless you have a remote server which you can connect, to make it looks like you are login from another IP into your second account, it will be very easy for the Mod to tell if you are using the same computer to login with multiple accounts. Of course most people who try to use multiple accounts to be "funny" won't have the technical expertise to do that. and those with the technical expertise will not bother with something so "childish"

That's what I understood from the old dial-up... but is that true for fibre connection?

Just curious to learn something

Just to comment from technical side. The technology behind diap-up and fibre are still remain the same, only the hardware (level 1) is different.

Most residential line uses dynamic IP, instead of static IP. Most of time devices have the same IP, but not necessary true all the time.

I wouldn't comment on the approaches we used for obvious reason, but it is more than just IP. I would like to give credit to cyclone, who has an impressive skill to find out more convincing "truth". Unless all of us are reasonably convinced, otherwise we will give them the benefit of doubt.

Laugh.. not only cyclone, even Google knows you quite well.
Nowadays, the web technology is rather intrusive in probing your online character.
