and i fear if your mod will move users or prevent from registrations to non-spammers too? as if someone surf on cybercafe and multiple users register there but they arent same but then ur mod will prevent them from registering?

i mean to ask wht does ur mod use to detect and prevent multiple registration?
wll it prevent non-spammers too anyway?

You can CHOOSE whether or not multiple accounts are moved to a prevention usergroup. Also, if you do choose to have multiple accounts moved to a prevention usergroup, you can always choose to move them to a new usergroup, after you verify they aren't a spammer/multiple account. (This does NOT stop them from registering.)

It's pretty much impossible to tell the difference between Spammer and non-Spammer by simply checking IP addresses or cookies. If you're worried about real, unique users being moved to a prevention usergroup, you can always activate "silent mode" which will ONLY notify you. (It will not take any actions in silent mode) This will help you get an idea of how many reports you can be expecting and give you an idea of how it works.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Okay, well I would have added a few more things, but I'll do that now

This modification will always check for a cookie that tracks which account the person has logged into. This happens for both registration and login. You can enable IP address detection for registration; this is to protect against someone clearing or modifying their cookies to get past the detection. Since IP addresses change and some (although very few) people may register while at a public place (i.e. library or cafe), I also include a time limit. This setting limits the time (in days) in which the modification will look for matching IP addresses. Take this scenario for example:

You have the IP address checks enabled and you have the time limit set to 30 days. Someone registers on a public computer. Two months later, another person registers on the same computer. Although they might have matching IP addresses, the modification knows to ignore it since it is past the time limit of 30 days.

So I would like to confirm this for you. You have nothing to worry about. You will be able to reverse anything (such as bans or changed usergroups) and you can uninstall it at any time and reinstall AE Detector with no permanent consequences.

Unfortunately, the author of vBOptimise refuses to respond to my private messages. I cannot find anything wrong with my code, so I think he/she will have to be the one to fix this glitch. If I need to change something, then I will gladly, but again, I cannot find anything wrong with my code. Please notify the author of vBOptimise about this inconvenience. He/she might know what to do.

It looks like you don't have the files correctly uploaded. The files within the 'upload' folder should be uploaded to your forum root. Once you have the files in place, it will work just fine. I can help you with this privately if you would like my assistance.

If you just want to uninstall it, you will need to add this line near the top of your config.php file:

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


Reupload your config.php file and all hooks will be disabled. You will be able to login and modify whatever you need to.

Can you add this too ?
What about my suggestion? Can a few $ put it in front of the cue ?

Yes, I'll have actions available for multiple logins for my next major release.
Also, yes, money always helps. I work on projects that I get paid for before I work on projects that I wouldn't get paid for.
