IPs can be spoofed but only for a 1-way traffic thing which excludes most internet activitys including this one.
We have already had a case where one poll was pretty much ignored when the person with a particular viewpoint created over 30 logins in a day. The fact that they all came from the same IP group was a factor.
However multiple sites arent hard to get. I have a dozen different IPs I can come in from.
On the other hand few people can manage multiple personalities well. If they can then they have problems outside of this forum which need addressed.
This is an old and well-chewed subject in the alt.hacker newsgroup. You cannot be totally anonymous on the net. You can only make it harder to tell who you are. Its a factor of how much trouble you cause to make it worth tracking down the answer.
