*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.

There is now an option prevent account registrations based on IP addresses.
If a banned user attempts to create a new account, the new account will automatically be banned.
Multiple account registrations will now send a PM or make a thread
v1.0.0
Initial beta release
Please click "Install" if you have installed this mod! Thanks!
yeah for some reason I put the IP checking code before the registration completes, so the new user doesn't have a user id yet... will change it as soon as I can, but got some exams coming up, and right now I'm still recovering from the Bears game WOOO
is there a wasy to totally cancel the registration ie
Our records show that you have already registered under the name of (username). If you have lost your password, click here. If you would like to modify your profile, click here.
I've been testing this on my sandbox servers, and the "Automatically Ban Banned Users?" option doesn't seem to have any effect.
Whether I have that turned on or not, it still puts the new account in the COPPA group.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems there is some bug in the system in regards to the banned users.
I see in the plugin code the following to ban a user:
PHP Code:
//ban the user
if ($marpautoban)
$userdata->set('usergroupid', $vbulletin->options['marpbannedgroup']);
But, I can find no where to change the setting for what group the marpbannedgroup is. I don't even see that setting being added in the xml install file.
