Version 2.1.2 - Fixed MySQLi bug - Introduced GOLD/Premium Version
Version 2.1 - Added BBCode to Banned Users and Post Count Options, better debug info
Version 2.0 - Added report for Registration (User) IP Address Checking
Run reports directly from the Admin CP anytime you want
Post daily report as a "New Post" into an existing thread rather than a "New Thread" each night
Access to another Gold Mod- Recent Registration Check- will block spammers and scammers trying to register multiple accounts from the same IP address
This mod will run a nightly scan of your "post" and/or "user" table. It will report if it finds any users sharing the same IP address. You choose in the options how many days back you want to look. (Max of 5000 days, but please use more reasonable limits.)
If any "duplicate use" is found the IP addresses, usernames and optionally the posts themselves will be reported.
The report takes the form of a new thread posted to the forum of the Admin's choosing (A private forum for mods or admins is strongly recommended.)
There are options for whitelisting (ignoring) specific IP Addresses and/or userids so if you or your mods post as other users you can prevent that from being reported. If you use the Zoints Anonymous Posting mod you will want to put that userid on the whitelist else the report will out whoever posted "Anonymously."
NOTE: There are PERFECTLY valid reasons 2 or more users may share the same IP address. This report in and of itself is not proof of malicious activity. Users that connect by mobile devices, work in same offices, or go to the same schools for example would likely share the same IP address on some posts. So would too any users connecting from the same home or public Wi-Fi network.
As of version 2.0 there is a report for both the "post" and "user" table. The "user" table will find when 2 or more users register with the same IP address.
Tested and working on VB 3.8.7 and VB 4.1.12/4.2.0 and should work on all 3.7 / 3.8 / 4.x versions.
That one is for vB Version: 3.7.1
Some say it works on vB 4 some say it doesn't.
That one isn't supported, this one is, by a Moderator of vB org as well.
I actually use another old version for such as this, and it works fine, but in the future I will start to use this one

Isn't that one Cookie based, and this one IP based?
Really apples and oranges- I use both. That mod doesn't look at IP addresses at all, it looks for a cookie that can be easily cleared by a user who knows what they are dong.
It doesn't create reports, it PMs or posts on a single detection.
One isn't better than the other- just different mods.
