YA-feature request: how about making it more private for the users?
Instead of the utility taking one username and giving IP addresses,
have it take two usernames and have it say whether or not they are the
same IP? Or the same /24, to catch the dialup users. I don't think all
sysops should have access to all user's IPs (I say that as a sysop, not
as a tinfoil'd user), but I also think kicking sockpuppets should occur
well before arbitration.
