I have a user who continues to create new identities (she's on number 5 now) to get on my board! She is on AOL so I don't think there is a way to ban her by IP address. Man I wish there was a mod to ban by MAC address - that would be AWESOME.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this person the heck away from my community? Is there a hack that could help?
Try installing the miserable users mod. Don't ban her, but make it really hard for her to surf the site. With any luck, she'll think the site is slow and having tech difficulties and will give up and go away.
I believe there is also a mod that checks new regs to see if they might be existing users. If I remember correctly, it puts these users in queue so their registration has to be approved. She most likely uses similar passwords when she registers each time. A good script would watch for that.
Oh you rock Amy - Thanks! I will put a mod request in for that script! I will go look for that mod you mention and put a link here in case anyone else needs it

You can wild card ban either in admincp/vBulletin Options/User Banning Options ........but I use miserable users when I want to have some laughs,cause let me tell you it is worse then being banned.
