You could do a few things here.
I would not banned people from signing up again if the ipaddress is in
the database.
You could make it so no email could be in the database more than once.
What I did before was:
if a user's ipaddress matches an ipaddress in the database I have the
script email me to investigate, then I can decide and delete accordingly.
You could do the same thing for similar email addresses, similar cities
etc depending on paranoid you are about it.
Using Ipaddress is a bad idea because ISP recycle ipaddresses all the time.
