Use it to detect multiple accounts and then put them on global ignore using the "tachy goes coventry" from user banning options. Dont ban them - always put on ignore. If you ban them then they will just keep coming back.

The only problem with Tachy is, if they log out they can see their posts aren't posting.

Thanks a lot vijayninel and Max Taxable. I found that I have the same hack recognizing multiple accounts but was installed in a different name in Arabic translation version. However the hack was not effective with that evil guy at all! He registers many times a day and the hack has never caught him even once! ... As mentioned before he has a sound background in IT technology and software for my hard luck ... Most of his registrations are with fake emails which he is unable to verify of course! ... His main aim is to display dozens of obscene and evil usernames on (who is on line) and other forum statistics! ... I have tried several options including:

* Helding registration to new members, however re-enabled it after a couple of days!
* Made forum statistics invisible to all groups expect group 6 (Admins) which is me , However forum members requested re-enabling them again after several days in spite of explaining to them my reasons!

Is there anyway to allow forum statistics and at the same time to Prevent Users awaiting Email confirmation and awaiting Moderation from getting displayed on them!
