Trying to prevent things like the SNOW/Adult Detective dramarama

I think a valuable feature for GFY would be to have would be some sort of unique identifier of the poster based on their IP. I know that no one really wants to reveal their true IP tp everyone, but how 'bout some sort of unique code filter?

The multiple aliases/postings is getting a bit rediculous not to mention everyone's accusations of people posing as other people. I know that people could always post using a proxy/anonymiser but I think this would cut the crap quite a bit. Not to mention if this was available on all PREVIOUSLY posted topics. I think a lot of interesting things would unfold. Hmmm....

Like maybe that I'm boneprone. Ha...Just kidding. Don't want to upset the "family".

Here's the perl code if this board is written in perl. Free of charge: ;-) Heh.

use Digest::MD5 qw(md5_hex);
my $lensmans_random_number = 1.6969;
$ip_unique = $ip; #posters ip
$ip_unique =~ s|\.||g;
$ip_unique = $ip_unique * $lensmans_random_number;
$ip_unique = md5_hex($ip_unique);
