First off, Thank you! for a great module. It makes our lives so much easier.

If I may suggest a feature (sorry =P) to make this module completely automated.

Consider the following use case:

A vigilant user goes in through a proxy and registers 5 accounts within 5 minutes. We've seen it done.

Step by step, what happens:
  1. Account 1 is registered, new IP (proxy remember), cleared cookies. We cannot prevent this.
  2. Account 2 is registered, the IP is detected, Account 2 is moved to the prevention group, report is sent.
  3. Account 3 is registered, the IP is detected, Account 3 is moved to the prevention group, report is sent.
  4. ... etc

Here is the problem:

All 5 accounts belong to the vigilant user. The last four are dealt with. However, the first account remains in the "Registered Users" group until we manually ban the account or move it to the prevention group. Needless to say this is not an ideal situation.

Solution/Proposed feature:
  • OPTION: Also move existing users to the prevention group - Yes/No
    Yes - Move all previously registered users that are discovered to the prevention group.
    No - Take no additional action.
