Wont this just alienate a large bulk of AOL users from accessing your forums?

If it is checking post IPs also then no doubt.

It would help if you could select which areas to check. It may be better off to only check the registration IP as you would have a much less chance of a false positive.

It's about time AOL started using proxy servers that pass on the client IP.

Installed!

You missed the button, bro.

Bonus!

(j/k) :devious:

hmm what about this:

do not display a error message but put the user join requiest in the moderation queue even if that is not enabled in the Control pannel

For example I want to stop clones on my forum but I want to manually check clone suspicions... I cannot check all the join requests because there are so many... but if there were a way to check only the suspicious ones ;)

Thats a good idea,

Or have an IP whitelist so you can add the AOL proxies in to the white list.

awesome hack!

installed!!

is there any chance this could be modded so that it checks for the same IP addres within x hours (or mins)?

That could help controll spammers/trolls
