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

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.
