Works nice. Thank you MPDev!

Installed! Can't wait to see it work :)

Anything I can do to keep the troublemakers from doing what they do best is good by me!

Thanks !!

Just tested it as I have two accounts, one admin, one for posting and it didn't trigger.

Can anyone confirm that this is working?

I'd love it to because there are a few people on my site I would like to BUST.

FYI, I am using Firefox 1.0.7

Installed :D I got a few PMs already

"A seems to have multiple personalities using B and A sharing the same computer. No soup for you! and you! and you!"

"C seems to have multiple personalities using A and C sharing the same computer. No soup for you! and you! and you!"

I know A, B and C are 3 different ppls and live in 3 different places. According to these 2 PMs, I suppose A shares his account to B & C :disappointed: Am I right?

May I ask if member use one browser (Opera) to login A account, and another browser (FF) to login B account; can this mod detect the activity?

that was most ppl concerned.

Hmmm. Lucky you!

It's not account based. It is cookie based. How sure are you that these three people are in different places? The PM is triggered by the cookie that records the login account. They would all have to be using the same computer...

I know Firefox and IE store their cookies in different locations. I would assume that Opera does not share cookies with Firefox. So if they used different browsers, this method would not work...

I got another PM which make the situation like above. I know this mod is cookies-based, and it likely that they share accounts. This happens a lot on my site and within my Staff :nervous: so I will go with this conclusion. Still, I want to hear the opinion of this hack's author as of how to read the PM

Again, this mod is working. Thanks :devious:

wow! great hack! but wouldnt it be better to write that logins to a logfile? if there ever was a meaning in the word "logfile", then might be this? ;)

i got some x-thousand users, some have mod-/useraccounts. dont want to explode by pm-box... :( and (if thats not already in there) its very important to see the real username. otherwise it isnt much confortable to find out, if theres a troll in between...

Oh yeah, you reminds me about that. PMs keep coming and coming fast :D

One senario I encountered was that you cannot send a PM to yourself; i.e. if you trip the detector with the account you are sending your alerts to, the PM will not get sent. And since you only get one PM per addition of new accounts, you won't see subsequent logins on those two accounts.

If you didn't catch that - you only get one PM per violation - meaning if A and B login on the same computer you only get one notice until that computer registers a C login.
