*INSTALLED*

....and working perfectly. I have it set to send a PM rather than post a thread in a specific forum. I installed it just 2 days ago and have already caught 10 people using multiple accounts. Thank you very much for this extremely useful hack. I'm also using the multiple account registration prevention hack too, which works very nicely in combination with this hack.

Feature Request:

Now I'm no coder, but I was wondering something. Let's say someone has already registered multiple accounts *before* I installed this hack. What I would like to see as an added feature, would be a way to automatically place the multiple account into a "banned" usergroup.

Let's pretend that a few users already have multiple accounts...say user x with userid 100 has already registered accounts as user y and user z, with userid's of 200 and 300 respectively. Would it be possible to add a feature whereby the higher userid can be placed in a usergroup of your own choosing, say a "banned" usergroup when the AE detector is tripped? Most multiple accounts would have the higher userid than the user's original and primary account. So working on the difference in userid, the feature would automatically ban the higher userid and leave the lower one alone. It's not too hard right now for me to just manually ban the multiple account with the higher userid, but a feature to automatically do that would be nice.

The only other feature I can think of that I would like to see, would be a "strikes" system, whereby any user caught logging into multiple accounts more than X number of times would have the option of also being put into a "banned" usergroup.

I've got one person on my boards who must have at least 15 different personalaties and does things like make a post under one account, then he switches accounts, goes back to the post and compliments "himself" on the wisdom of the post.

Just a suggestion...this hack works wonderfully the way it is now, these are just "bonus" features that I'm suggesting here. Like I said, I'm no coder so I have no idea how difficult/impossible something like these suggestions might be.

Thanks for listening and for a great hack.
