Hence why I mentioned a static IP as opposed to a dynamic IP, which constantly changes. And even with the latter, if you and your friend use the same ISP, then you'll have a similar IP range, because ISPs tend to buy them in large blocks to serve their customers.
Makes it easy to run a trace to see, which city it originates from, then do a double check to see if any other users trace back to that area, and then simply do a guestimate on how likely it is that it's all the same user. Which you can often figure out by way of their posting habits.
If, one poster does a lot with anime, but the other seems obsessed with knitting, then it's not likely that they're one and the same. If, both accounts deal with anime. Looks like we got a target match, and then it's simply a question of swinging the ban hammer.
Proxies are annoying, but one can work around those. Spoofers are a more annoying problem, and most sites do not have the tools to defeat those, then again, youtube has plenty of money available to purchase such tools, so I wouldn't put it past them, that they're able to get around the spoofers as well.
