I looked for identical names or email addresses, and then manually checked them. The other thing we could do would be to record people’s IP addresses and look for identical ones. However I chose not to record them due to privacy concerns. I would promise not to use them to try guessing who people are, and this identifying data never gets shared with anyone but me—I’d appreciate feedback on whether people would be comfortable with IP addresses getting recorded given this.
Oh cool. How were you able to identify duplicates?
