There is no such limiter at this time, however because we do store the IP of each registered user it would be very easy to implement such a check. All you would need to do is check for the presence of the IP address inside the users table before allowing the registration to go through.

Personally, I don't think such a block is a very good idea simply because many users are sitting behind corporate firewalls or proxies and to the outside seem to be coming from the same ip address. You could potentially be blocking many users from utilizing your forum.
