Admins most likely can tell alts by checking the IP address (provided they aren't using a proxy). The mods don't have any need to see IP's and get trolls on a per ban basis rather than a "obvious alt" technicality.
We know the site collects your IP address, but I'm not sure if the site actually pairs it to a user.
*For legal reasons the IP address has to be paired with the user [currently] using it. They need to be able to pass information on to law enforcement if a user does break the law.
*NB. May not be fully accurate but should be mostly correct
Doubtful.
IPs are so easy to change that I doubt they'd bother to do anything with that information even if they had access to it.
