I see the only problem is that it says that "Invalid days" line, everything actually runs as expected. You're not getting a report because you have "Post empty reports" set to "No." If you set it to yes the report would run (but be empty.)

I have made the fix in my working copy but since it doesn't effect performance I'm not going to update the mod just for this minor change- it will be part of the next release. :up:

Is there anyway that people who have been banned can be mentioned? This way, I can easily check if someone has been banned already and a duplicate user by-passed the ban (not yet banned) with another account.

And or an option that banned people can be excluded of being posted on the duplicate IP list?

And perhaps an option to show how many posts each account has within the reported thread.

As of now banned users should be showing up on the list.

Adding an option to exclude banned users sounds like a good idea, as do post counts- both should be fairly easy and I will try to get it into the next version.

Indeed it does :), but it also shows up non-banned users. So I have to manually see which one has been banned and which one hasn't been banned. Maybe defined by a color (green = non-banned, red = banned) to easily see the difference.

Thanks :), appreciate it.

Thanks. Installed

thanx. :)

Intalled for testing with thanks ... :)

Is there a reason that moderators show up with duplicate IP's as some standard registered users?

Perhaps has something to do with them moderating (editing or deleting) the registered user's post, causing the moderator's IP to be added?

Follow up ... :)

A great idea for a mod and in my opinion, badly needed, however, it has one caveat that everyone should be aware of, already pointed out by bop5 ... ;)

According to the output from this mod, I have a single IP address 132.3.33.68 being shared as a registration IP by 7 different users. It's absolutely correct, except the IP address is from a military base where IP addresses are rotated and assigned randomly (and re-used). All 7 members are legitimate and not spammers etc,. so one has to be careful as to how to use the information provided. ;)

It's very common for dial-up and internal networks to re-use and re-assign outbound IP addresses, so unless there's a way of ensuring that the multiple registrations (or posts) come from a specific machine, it's a bit of leap to assume too much. I also use the "cookie" based program which does run for me under 4.1.3pl5 and yes, cookies can be deleted, but I find it's been 90% plus in nailing spammers and other dysfunctional folks who have tried to register 0r re-register under different names.

I don't know if this mod could be enhanced to add "cookies" or some other method to furthe narrow the data, so good guys aren't inadvertently nailed along with bad guys .... :D

Nice work BOP5 .. appreciate your efforts ... :)

Doug

Doug,

In my test a moderator editing a post did not change the original IP Address assigned to the post. I checked on VB 4.1.12.
