Wrong, considering reddit claims to know if you make an alt to avoid bans by IP tracing.

Yeah firstly loads of countries use dynamic IP-addresses and secondly I can think of more than half a dozen easily accessible ways to get around an IP ban. Proxies, SOCKS, SSH, VPN, TOR network, P2P anonymizers, virtual browsers.
IP bans haven't been an effective means of exclusion since the early 90s and even back then its usefulness was dubious at best.
