Denied - Vote has already been registered for device (Submission Vote Identity 2.7)
So I have two user names.
I innocently used the second user name and clicked on a news article up vote and got: Denied - Vote has already been registered for device (Submission Vote Identity 2.7)
So. I use linux, Firefox and have browser cookies set to auto delete when the browser closes. I also have a city wide IP address. So it is not on my IP address.
So. I closed the browser and checked cookies. Zero cookies are listed. So how does Voat know and give Denied - Vote has already been registered for device (Submission Vote Identity 2.7)

It's IP. Another member of my household has an account, and we run into this error all the time when we are both on the wifi. Separate accounts, different browsers, different devices.

The IP address use is for a city of a couple of million people. So, na not really

Thats not how IP addresses work, at all.

How did you figure that out? I think you're mistaken, since IPs are generated for each device that connects to a network, such as a phone on 4g, or a home modem (so all devices connected through it share one IP).

Do you seriously think a couple of million people all share the same ip address? Think really hard on it.

My IP address is city wide. It registers the same any way I check it.
Yes, in the "real world" governments are not going to let people hide themselves. But I have checked my IP and it is a city IP.

Think for five seconds. Even if you know absolutely nothing about the structure of the Internet (and you clearly don’t), imagine the implications of this scenario you’ve crafted. If every computer in the city reports the same IP address, what does that mean for anonymity in that city? Let’s assume that someone has the OPSEC knowledge to prevent cookies from being saved or browser strings from being reported. What, then, could he do from any computer within the city? He could anonymously release any and all above top secret government documents and destroy the ZOG without worrying about being caught and killed. The government would be powerless to find him (again, assuming he hid his hardware profile). Similarly, anyone could post child porn anonymously, without end, and the only recourse would be to BAN THE ENTIRE CITY from the website(s) on which the CP was posted.
This isn’t how things work. Now, with the (ludicrously slow) adoption of IPv6, the implications of the new technology is that each device will have an IP address assigned to it permanently (since there will be enough IPs for all devices that will ever exist). That’s the opposite scenario to what I just described, but would have the same appearance as what you’re describing (which isn’t what is happening to you, so don’t get any ideas). It’s also the opposite of anonymity and will destroy it forever.
