AWESOME!!! Too easy - well done mate :)

Thanks!

For our needs, I excluded all AOL and WebTV IPs in the script and it is working like a charm.

Christine, would you mind sharing how you did that?

Thanks!

@djwins - add an exclude in the WHERE statement on the query and include these LIKES:

64.12.%,
152.163.%,
205.188.%,
202.67.%,
149.174.%,
195.93.%,
198.81.%
209.240.%

The first 7 are AOL banks and the last one is WebTV.

Doesn't appear to catch all duplicate users. Just some spot checks show that it is missing some users that share more than one IP in common.

It catches all users to the best of my knowledge. If the IP is recorded in the Database then it catches them.

I believe I see the problem. It only catches IPs from the USER table. Since very few posters, from my experience, have static IPs this will not get a complete list of users that are posting from the same IPs.
The problem with an IP search on the POST table is it will not catch duplicate IPs from people that have never posted.
A combination of your mod and the default IP search would catch all users with duplicate IPs.
The screen shots I have attached show an example of the problem with vBulletin's default IP search and your mod. In the screen shots 4 users share IPs but not all 4 show on either method of checking.
Both catch some but not all users with duplicate IPs.

Can someone provide a way to ignore people with 0 posts from the check.

Jolten,

Does this not check the POST table in addition to the USER table for IP's? If it doesn't, this should be made clear in the description of this hack.

Nice hack!
