Reduce "Duplicate" User Accounts
Suggestion: Make the signup form unavailable for users that are already logged in. I could create a bunch of user accounts, which is probably not a good thing in terms of developing a community based suite of scripts (like with the GT Community).

Anyway, just thought this would be a good idea.

Yes, there are checks for the username and email address, but it would be good to have another check to make sure that people cannot add a bunch of user accounts.

Buh Bye!

What's the point of that?

I could just logout and create one Tongue

A better way would be to log IP's when users signup and then whether they are logged in or not you can check their IP against the IP column in the database.

However this is also not a great way as IP's are dynamic for most.
