Administrative and Maintenance Tools - New Registrant Analyzer

Description:
At the forum I maintain these are the general measures taken to determine if a new registrant is a spammer:
- google username see if it has been used elsewhere and if it has been banned, if there are a lot of results, try searching using: $username vbulletin, or, $username phpbb, or $username forum
- go to domain of email address if unfamiliar
- google first part of email address
- google second part of email address if unfamiliar
- check IP on DNS Stuff

So, to make it easier for the other admins to check this information I wrote this which basically has quick links to get this information. Refer to the screenshot for more details.

In the contained zip file, import the product via 'Manage Products' and upload the rest of the file to their appropiate locations

After installing, you'd need to refresh the admincp/modcp area with your browser then look under 'Users' in the admincp, otherwise look under 'New Registrant Info' if in the modcp

changelog
0.1 - initial release
0.2 - make it work for both mods and admins (shows in admincp and modcp)
0.3 - use dynamic modcp/admincp variables, move 'New Registrant Info' under Users menu

NOTE: remember to look under Users when browsing in the admincp

This would be a great mod for me if something else is added, Gamertag (xbox Live) would it be possible to put that in?

um.. I don't quite know what you're talking about.. ? you want it to show custom fields the user entered in their profile? (wouldn't be too difficult to implement if that is the case)
