I have made a few small changes to the Code of Conduct to clarify some issues. The main point is that it is against the rules for anyone to actively use more than one username on the site, and it is VERY against the rules to use mutiple usernames to unfairly cast mutiple votes on images. I can very easily produce a list of all users which use mutiple usernames, cheat on voting, and cheat on favorites lists. The Mods and I have been discussing this and agree that we can not tolerate this behavior any more. If you think that you may be one of the users that I am referring to, just stop the activity and there won't be any repercussions for you.
I presume that things like the Cadres Padres and Guesstheartist are still fine? From the Code, it looks as though you are referring to regular misuse.
I am curious though - can you be sure this is happening in every case? Not so long ago, my IP address was blocked from the site and I had to get you to unblock it. I had done nothing wrong and yet it still happened.
To give an example: I used to play an online game called Kings of Chaos (I wouldn't recommend it, by the way). My brother, who lives about 20 miles away also played it. We had massive problems because their website thought we were the same person with the same IP address - something to do with the fact that we both have the same ISP (I don't pretend to understand the technical details). The point is: how can you be sure that people are definitely logging on with multiple IDs?
That said, I am glad to see that you are cracking down on it if it is happening - there is simply no reason to use multiple IDs.
