If I had to ban all xbox group teammembers and developers having multiple accounts I would have to ban 80% of them.
Multiple accounts is something very hard to check anyway. Just checking IP doesn't work because:
- some people use same IP 'cause they use their ISP proxy (like some AOL)
- some people use same IP 'cause they they are on a network with 1 external IP
- some people use same IP 'cause they they share a PC
- some people use same IP 'cause they they they have an ISP with non-fix IP so they could suddenly come up with IP someone else used before.
- ...
Anyway checking IP wouldn't even solve the multiple account problem as you could just use an anom. proxy like some do already.
BTW: a fast check on your IP doesn't resolv in anything better ...
So no, modmakers are not protected ... they get the same rights everyone has.
