I think it will stop the big wave. But I agree that other measures are necessary too.
For website administrator, it would be nice to correlate different accounts with time and place (and IP).

Yeah we do have a way. We ended up banning about a dozen accounts from this guy, I haven't checked but I'm fairly certain he was upvoting himself. But if it became a deeper problem, that would be a great thing to check next.

We actually have that already. He was hitting that limit, then making a new account and posting again.
