Because Singapore ISPs force uses to use proxies, I have seen up to 400 connections from the same IP address at any one time. In fact, my host thought it was a DDoS attack and locked the whole lot out.
Clone creators aren't idiots. You don't need vpns or proxies. Just reboot your modem between each registration and your IP address will change.
There are filters that could be put in place to help control simultaneous log ins from the same computer which would work for forums with lower levels of traffic but if I implemented them here, the whole forum would slow down dramatically and surfing the content would become a pain.
The reason why you are zapped isn't just because of clones. It's also because of how you come across in the forum. I reserve further comment.
