I know a good way to stop spam. I think we should have to wait exactly one hour, between signups. I can't think of any reasons to make two accounts at the same time other than spam. I think this will reduce spam.

Well I have two accounts on one email address. I never get on it though.

I say no too, it won't change anything, and besides people in ag can't have multiple account because if they did they would be banned immediately.

Why would they be banned? I never get on my other one anyway.

I don't really think this will stop them, I mean if they really plan on doing some major spam they'd have created 5-8 new emails before and create the accounts when their latest got banned...at least I think that's how it works.
I would rather have a IP-based limit, which can only be lifted by an admin or something. It'd be much more effective, until they use proxies o.o

Ok, nobody likes this idea so it should be locked. All other replies under this one will be considered spam.

@ Raptor

Ip-based banning could work.

Except don't users using AOL or a broad-band connection share IP's?

I'm pretty sure they do, so if you ban that IP hundreds who use that will be banned.

i think the problem is is people making another account and then posting on it to gain ap.
