The proxy mods donot work as well as peope think,. I have used all of the ones I could vind here on vbulletin.org and franlky im dissapointed, i have had all of my staf and several memebrs use all kidns of proxiesand they all were able to get on and non of them were converted to the origional ip niether. the only proxy that was blocked si the ones that are based on the computer itself, but there are many prioxy sites that break through includign a list at proxy.org
checking for duplicate IP is useless when you have the extended IP information it does the same thing. also multiple account detection doesn't catch every account, I have found some people get on multiple accounts and where not detected because they were on their school computer or library.
miserable users doesn't work as well if the person figures out whats really happenin,give used it b4 and a user figured it out and made a new account using a proxy.
Granite the multiple login detector does help a bit, so does login hacks and read PM, many mods do help but they dont always work. Apparently many people forgot how to be an admin, it doesnt mean using all these fancy mods that most dont even catch even half of the problem. frankly it does help a little but its nothing compared to having a plan that works
the point is to get them to lose interest youll never be able to permanently block them, it only takes a little bit of server side to get back on, or a proxy and dont say there is proxy blocking methods, there are bypasses with proxies and many of them can be easily googled, You can never perfectly block a proxy without blocking everyone else
