One account per IP address is not a good idea, because it is very well
possible for several independent people to use the same public IP
address. In IPv4 at least with NAT routers. I can think of examples in
student homes with a shared broadband connection. Or the clubhouse of
the flying club. Or even private households where several family members
like flightgear. Furthermore, there are Internet providers that use
dynamic public IP addresses, so the same connection does not always use
the same IP address. It would therefore not even limit access reliably.
A limit of one member per IP address will probably bring a lot of
support questions and is not practical.

We could then only allow one account per IP address(perfectly
possible, the forum software we're using right now has an option for
that!), and when a user acts up, they're account could be suspended
accordingly based on the magnitude of their offense. For moderators, a
group of respected and trusted users could be elected, or a report
system could be rigged, and logs of mp chats could be stored for later
reference.
