A note on IP checking

Just a note for commishes trying to stamp out owners playing multiple teams...


For those unfortunate enough to use AOL, AOL uses something called a megaproxy.. Without going into long technical, boring details on what that is or how it works, the end result will be many many AOL users might end up showing up as being from the same IP address.

On my servers, I sometimes see dozens of people that are unique users with the same IP from AOL.

Just something to be cautious about jumping to conclusions on just IP alone.
