Maybe a good idea instead of IP detecting dupers.

How about, instead of detecting IPs and matching them up with their "dupes", why not skip that and detect the MAC adress of each computer. 

Or even better, since MACs can be altered, use both MAC and IP "detecting".

I mean, real games/servers etc can detect MAC numbers of ones network, cant you guys see that too?

And to STOCKS the thing with doing this would be that you no longer have to label wrong people dupers. Lets say at work etc, since you now would be able to see exactly what kind computer the connection is coming from.

This is a WEB-BASED game, not one you INSTALL on your computer which would then have access to your system/hardware. Majority of the dupers are caught logging on to the same computer anyways, so this wouldn't really confirm any more than current methods do.

In my opinion the system that is in place now is fine the way it is. With the new system the increase in finding dupers as you put it may not increase that much at all. We may only find 20 extra dupers with the new system.

You missunderstood my point buddy, it was meant for the sake of clearing people who actually has been labeled dupers. Personally I'm the only one using PB on this computer/network so im fine. But I was thinking about all these people who play it with their friends at lets say school/work etc.
