Multiple Account Registration Prevention · **Released**: 09-18-2006

*Note* This requires the Multiple Account Login Detector (AE Detector) in order to function. Big thanks to MPDev for the AE Detector hack, I have used/modified his code for use in parts of this mod (with permission).

*Note 2* My forum's servers are driving me nuts right now, big load times, etc and I'm about to cut myself from waiting for a page to load - so I haven't thoroughly tested all the new goodies I've added. If you find that something doesn't work please let me know.

Description
When an user registers, this plugin checks for the cookie that the AE Detector sets, if it exists, then this plugin will move the user to a specified usergroup (default is to the (COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation usergroup). This will now check the user's IP address upon registration, and if it matches any others, it will place them in the Multiple Account (MA) usergroup . Also you have the option to ban the new account if the old account was banned.

You can turn the new features on/off accordingly in the settings area.

It doesn't ban users, if they try to register and their IP is already connected with an account, then the account they try to register will be put in a moderation queue for you to approve.

You can turn this option off as well.

I found one bug... when you get this message.. Other users that have the same IP address are: the first username always has /member.php?u=0 which is wrong it should be there userid instead of 0 everytime.

installed the hack and waiting to see what happens. Hopefully it'll help curb our multiple account problem.

BTW, anyone know of an easy way to clean out the ol' multiple accounts on a via searchin via IP addess. Is there an easy way to do this in vB?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
