Trip code is tied into a bunch of factors, but once you post and dont clear cookies, you will keep getting the same tripcode. Its almost impossible for someone else to spoof the trip code.
However, Q did change tripcodes (for whatever reason), and even changed platforms a couple times, but each time anons quickly established who the real Q was.
Q switched identities/forums multiple times. Don't hold me to this, but from what I remember, at least one switch was confirmed by the Anons without hard proof. But it was a long time ago and I was not paying too much attention then. Someone else here might be able to answer definitively.

Wait what? So there was no way to prove that it was the same person? Anons just decided that it was?

No, they didn't decide it, they proved.
I'm just curious, as I didn't know this. How did they prove it if the trip code was different?
Multiple ways, but multiple zero deltas in one day for one. Q would then go over the fake Q posts and tell us which were real and which were fake.
