Comment(by ipstenu):

 Trolls and sock puppets.

 Spammers are one thing, but morons who like to intentionally be dicks,
 pardon me, are another. They're often people who try to make multiple
 accounts, all from the same IP, to intentionally cause mayhem and piss
 people off.  Being able to see where all the accounts were made from can
 help weed out the idiots.

 And I wouldn't think you need to monitor when the IP changes. That's
 already logged in comments so you can search that way very easily.  And
 yes, it helps me a lot :)
