Negative ... on 3.8.2 works everything fine.

But now i looking for similiar hack for vB 4.x

update for 4.0?

This let a member with the same ip address re register and I have it set to ban ip's that are banned.

*he recieved an infraction that lasts for 24 hours & was able to re register with same ip

When the user is banned does it check all other accounts for the same IP or does this only do this when they register?

I was unaware that this did not work for 4.x (though I suppose it should have been rather obvious, haha)

Is there a mod that does the same? If not, I'll see if I can port it but I have yet to do a 4 series mod so I don't know if the infrastructure changed.

I don't really have a forum anymore though so I've been inactive. I have an expired license which should let me run 4.0.2 I think.

I'll also look into the bug mentioned in #33.

@hellbomb: this mod does not check anything when banning a user (yet, anyways...)

I believe it checks the IP address that the user had when he registered and then EVERY IP he ever made a post/thread with.

Made this a while ago so I don't remember off hand. Pretty sure that's correct though :)

Pretty sure this has always been working on vB3.5.x (designed for 3.8 but I'm sure 3.5 should work too...)

yeah, this mod is just awsome !!!!!!!!
Waiting for vb 4.
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.


Thnx ;)

Works great, The only thing I can see so far that it doesnt do is detect users who have been banned from infractions.

It must do that Sonic, the hack looks for user group ID, ip, and other things.
Banned form infractions or not doesn't matter

Regards !!!!

i had a problem with a troll a few years ago that would use IP proxy sites to get around detection. he was able to post a few disruptive messages each time before i could be certain it was him and could ban him. eventually i realized he used the same password all the time so i would compare all new users passwords to the encrypted password the troll was using. he couldn't figure out how i was able to ban him before he even posted anything and left the forum shortly later.

you might want to add a feature to this mod where users who have the same pass as a known troll need to be authorized before they can post... or something like that. its not fool proof since two people might pick the same pass just out of shear luck but the odds of this are slim.
