Recently it seems like we get a lot of "repeat" Ask a Question posts - seemingly from the same individual, as the questions are on the same topic and worded very similarly. Would it be possible to post the IP address for the poster instead of the "Guest" label? I'd like a way to determine absolutely if it's the same person asking a question 2, 3 or more times.

Call it morbid curiosity.

I've also noticed the behavior you mentioned, and there are mechanisms at our disposal should the issue becomes a 'serious' problem. Right now, the repeat threads are an inconvenience, many of which are deleted on sight.
