For what it’s worth, a common misconception is that sites can use your IP address to uniquely identify a person. That simply is not the case. IP addresses are shared across multiple people/businesses/residences. The way to uniquely identify a device is through the MAC address. Furthermore, it’s not easy or cheap to scrape IP address information, and I’m sure a site like GBI doesn’t spend the money there. Lastly, if GBI were to spend that money, they certainly would not provide that information to a random board poster whom they gave moderator privileges to.
It’s also important to keep in mind, most of us log in with different devices (phone, computer, tablets) which all would have a different MAC address. Likewise, the different locations we log in from (home, work, mobile) would all have different IP addresses.
What this means is that the mod has no way of knowing whether
@IUhaterade uses multiple accounts or not (unless he/she used the same email).
