In fact, if I were a betting man I'd put $20 on at least 1/4 of manastone /listers doing exactly this. The only alternative is to drop on/off to switch with another person (risking losing your position) or using a ton of Adderall to do it yourself.

Oh, and for basing it on IP address, that wouldn't help at all. When two people remotely control one computer, that one computer maintains its same IP. All it would hurt is people whose connection goes down (ie. the people /list is trying not to kick off), because they get a fresh IP from their host (or VPN) when they reconnect.

IMHO the problems with /list are NOT technical in nature: they're systemic. The only solution is for the system to change (eg. to short/fixed length lists that you have to win a random to join).
I'm assuming that because of this the .dll file P99 has that scans things wouldn't pick up the VNC software because it doesn't interact directly with the client? If it could pick that up I'm guessing it means it's scanning everything on your comp which would of course not be okay.
