Do you have a problem with members who have more then one account?

Not really, since they might want to post some stuff with one account and other stuff with other accounts. I have multiple hotmail, gmail, Twitter, and YouTube accounts.

As long as members don't use their accounts on my forum to spam, troll, flame, or register tons of user names like more then 4. I am good. Plus, I don't have the time to check every if every member only have one account. Plus, they might have brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, and friends who use their internet to chat on the same forum.

I rather people keep it to one account (forum wise) so I know who is who.

But, it can be hard to enforce since they can say/lie they have a brother or sister who also is a member of the same forum he is a member of.

I think huge forums with thousands to millions of members might have more then one account per house hold since they have so many members on a forum.

There are also people who lost their forum password and e-mail password, so they can't reset their forum account password, so they are forced to make another account.

I think it would be a good idea to only let one e-mail address be used to register one account since it can stop spammers from using the same e-mail once they are banned.

I had to ban a lot of spammers and spam bots e-mails, so they can never use the same e-mail to spam again.

that is true, I've seen many who live in the same home have problems playing online games who only allow one account per IP address.
