Hey badolm,
Sure, no problem! If you're using a simple POST form, you *will* have to move your form use the API, though.
Once you're using the API, you can use this function on your form:
http://docs.formtools.org/api/?page=ft_api_check_submission_is_unique
That lets you query the database to check to see if the user has already signed up / submitted the form or not. You can pass any criteria to that function to determine the submission's uniqueness.
Let me know if you need a few more pointers.
All the best -
Ben
