CURRENT VERSION: 2.0
PLEASE REMEMBER TO CLICK INSTALL!
This mod will try and block banned members from evading their ban through making a new account.'
::: CHANGE LOG :::
v1.0 - original release v2.0 - First update (released: 04/08/09 (m/d/y))
--Mod now sets cookies on login which are not destroyed on logouts. These cookies can be used to help catch evaders
--Mod now supports notification through:
----New threads
----Private Messages
--You may choose whether you want users to be moderated or auto-banned depending on how they are detected.
Here's how it works:
Upon registration, vBulletin will search for all the users who have used the IP that the current person registering is currently using.
It will then check if any of those users are in the BANNED usergroup.
If there are no user matches, or if no user matches are in the banned group then the plugin will continue to check for set cookies which belong to banned users.
If IPs match, then it either auto-bans the account or it moderates it. This is set through vBulletin Options. If IPs are set to
moderate and not auto-ban then the plugin will check for cookies as well - if it finds a cookie belonging to a banned user and you have it set to auto-ban on cookies
then it will AUTO-BAN the new account even though it had found an IP which is set to moderate. Higher punishment "wins".
This has the POTENTIAL to slow down registration dramatically on forums with a LOT of posts. For reference, it does not add any noticable time for my forum which has about half a million posts. So you should probably be okay.
::: Installation :::
Extract product-moderate_user_if_banned.xml
Upload product-moderate_user_if_banned.xml by going to ADMIN CP --> PLUGINS AND PRODUCTS --> MANAGE PRODUCTS --> ADD/IMPORT PRODUCT
If you are upgrading then you should set "over-write" to yes.
And you're done!

Installed, but seems to have no effect at all. We've tested it across browsers and locations and it does not pick up new users registered from the very same machine as banned users.
Weird ... it's working like a charm for me at 4.1.4
Hello to all, I have installed this mod and it works great on VB 4.1.7 so far. The only issue I have is the fact that it will not post the thread / post to the thread I want. Ie: it makes a post but then it is put in the moderation Que and not into the thread.
Great mod, have it installed on 3.8. It didn't work out of the box as the usergroupids didn't match mine, but I changed the usergroupids in the xml file and now it's working perfectly.
