IP Address

I can't see this in the list, but myself and co-worker tried to vote on the same post today, I had already voted. He got a message saying that someone from the IP address had already voted. Any chance of making it IP / UserID combination?

If I am not mistaken... The IP address is used to overcome the problem of people voting on their own posts or the posts of somebody they don't like using a different user ID (i.e., sock puppet accounts). It's unfortunate that IP addresses are sometimes shared by many individuals.
