Just to give everyone some advanced warning: I've had permission from MPDev (developer of this mod), to overhaul and extend it. I've started this process and am testing it on my own system. When it is ready, I will release the "enhanced version".

I'm doing this because I get about 3-5 duplicate accounts per day and the workload with having to deal with this is too much.

Examples of new features being added is the ability to send "please explain" PMs to offenders who have been detected with multiple accounts. This cuts down on the amount of work someone has to do - they simply wait for the reply. Notification messages can also be appending to an existing thread (rather than a new thread started each time).

The changes will also mean that the mod will be fully phrased based and the notification messages themselves will contain more useful information as well as links to various handy functions (like ban).

I'm also looking at making it more database-based - in that each cookie will be assigned a unique serial number. This will bring many advantages - such as the ability to exempt a particular computer from the check, rather than having to exempt the users themselves.

Just wanted to let those of you who are interested know - so you can watch out for it when it is released. I can't give you a promise at this stage when that will be - maybe a couple of weeks.
