Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

If you get banned on the alt account and then forget to clear cookies when switching to your main, you will get banned on your main too. But that's all that can really happen
Which is why I like the idea of not allowing posting from members that do not meet at least one of the following criteria.
1) Any level of trust/title that puts the account out of status of "member".
2) A cookie that is >8-24 hours old. I'd prefer 24, but even the 8 hour limit would slow/prevent a mass of alt account spam.
Without one of those, the member is taken to a warning page that apologizes for the inconvenience, and explains that the site requires a "baked cookie" in order to allow members to post and that this is a site protection method due to new/alt account abuse over the years.
