I'm working for a big company in Sweden where trolling is a big problem sometimes. I've developed a small tool for our moderators, to check usernames against their ip. The tool does'nt warn on trolls but our moderators can easily scan for new nicknames in this database, to see if anyone has registered or posted with another nick before (posting is not required with this tool). The only problem is that this database grows fast, depending on the forums size and it's not completely foolproof. If some users uses the same proxy or ip, for example, there will be a lot more matches than we want.

- The good thing is that we've stopped some users before they even reached the threads... Most of the times, it really works...
