Cookie Ban

What does it do?

When you banned a user, he can just register a new account and keep posting on your forum.
When you banned an IP, the IP could be dymanic or an proxy IP. You probably banned one or more innocent users.
Why not try to ban someone by a cookie!

Installation

Step 1: import product-cookieban.xml
Step 2: add this into .htaccess

PHP Code:


		
			
                RewriteEngine on

                RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} _xxxx_welcome

                RewriteRule .* - [F]

be sure to replace the xxxx with your cookie prefix (check your includes/config.php)

What will happen?

When a banned user try to login your forum, he will be given a cookie of death. and then he will not be able to access your forum within an year.

Advanced

to assign a different banned usergroup, modify this line:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 8))

to assign a different ban period, modify this number:

PHP Code:


		
			
60*60*24*30*12

this is true. but in my experience, most of the users don't know anything about cookies. this helps to stop some mad posters.

human spammers are provided dymanic IPs from their company, but they don't waste time to clear the cookies either. if they can not access your site for the first load, they will choose to skip. they are just too busy :D

Isn't it the same way the Multiple account login detector works?
I just don't know if it works with the actual version 3.8, but it is also cookie based.

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=197484" target="_blank">Miserable Users</a> seems to be a better option. This works too though.

"Multiple account login detector" tells you who get multiple account. this mod stops users you banned to access your forum thus they can not register another account of course.

They still can register a new account, just need to clean their Cookies. Usually Spam Bots or things you don't need and want are small tools that work with a long proxy list, place their content, clean Cookies & Cache, do the next run.

Just - if someone knows a little bit more about how Login & Sessions work there's no way of banning someone completely without the chance to register again with another account. :(

to fix this mod, have the cookie stored on the persons pc, in a different location then the rest of the cookies. as cookie cleaners only delete the normal cookie file. I know several vB mods and other server programs that place a 2nd. non "normal" detectable cookie in other locations, so they are not deleted when the pc's cookies are deleated or removed.
