Not a problem. I'll update the known issues to include this newly found complication.

Ciao

thanks installed

Hi all, great mod, congrats to Kiros and all coders who contributed to this.

I have a slight problem with the mod. Although it works fine, I never get any PMs when multiple registrants are trying to register; they are only trasnfered to the proper usergroup.

My settings are correct, I have set the mod as follows:

Registration Prevention: Move to Usergroup, Except Banned Users
Silent Mode: No
Ignore Child Accounts: No
IP Address Prevention: Yes
Extended IP Address Prevention: Yes

Multiple Account Reporter: 1 (admin)
Report by Private Message: Yes
Recipients of Private Messages: 1;otheruserid;otheruserid
Report by New Thread: No
Verbose Mode: Yes

I run it on vb 3.8.1 PL1. Why don't I get any PMs?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanx in advance!

P.S. Before that I used the two separate mods that were combined to make this one, and there was no problem with the PMs.

The PM reporting is a little different than everything else. You should use the actual usernames (not User ID numbers) when setting the recipients and separate each username with a semicolon.

Thanks Kiros, that did it!

is there a way to run a scan for all registered users to match up duplicate ip's and have it auto-ban the 2nd+ account associated with the same ip as the first account?

To be honest, I don't think there is a way to run a scan. But, AFAIK, when a user logs in with an alt, it'll detect it. So say User A and User B are the same person. User B hasn't logged in since you installed the mod. User A logs in all the time. During an argument, User B logs in to back up User A, then it should automatically detect it and let you know. AFAIK, it won't automatically ban/move that user into any group.

This is just from my experience with the mod.

*Feature Request *

Can there be a feature added that notifies new registrants who are moved into a "awaiting moderation" usergroup via PM why they were moved.

Basically, just when someone is moved into the "awaiting moderation" usergroup, it sends him/her a PM explaining why, and instructing the user to PM the Administrator with an explanation.

Unfortunately, no. Besides that, such a feature would cause horrible mayhem on larger forums. Many people will have the same IP address when they register because some ISPs (AOL for instance) use proxies.

I might develop something like this to use a time inclusion setting, but I'd need to do some research and figure out how to not lock up the database tables during such scans. So I'm afraid we won't be seeing anything of the sort for quite some time =/

Hmmm, well what I did when I was a webmaster, I set vBulletin to put up a notice for a specific Usergroup informing them that their account was disabled because it was recognized as a multiple account. This is why it's good to have MADP send users to the moderated Usergroup instead of the "Awaiting Activation" Usergroup.

So if you put a notice up for the Usergroup, then they'll be notified every time they're logged in and on every page.

Does that help at all? :)

I'm sorry, but your use of common sense is disturbing... :)
