Multiple Account Registration Prevention
![]() Developer Last Online: Nov 2009 ![]() ![]() ![]() This modification is in the archives.
*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. Install / Upgrade Download the attached XML file, and import it at Admin Control Panel > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > Add/Import Product Remember to "Allow Overwrite" if you are upgrading. Mod Info 1 - Query 3 - Phrases 2 - Plugins 0 - Template 0 - Template Edits v1.0.2

Nice hack! A lot of my users are logging in from college/work, using shared computers. Would be bad for me but I can see the benefit!

Keep in mind this doesn't affect the login process, just the registration. And I guess it doesn't really "prevent" registration, just sends it to a different registration process.

Originally I had it set to "Moderate New Users" for vB, and I would have AE Detector make new threads in a forum for Multiple Accounts it found, but it got tedious having to look for 'em all.
So I finally got fed up and made this ^^ If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears... one thing I've noticed that would be helpful is to do the AE Detection process at the same hook as this plugin. For example, since I have AE Detector make a new thread; if a user tries to register, make a new thread saying "userx has tried to register account: usery" or something.

I had a major problem with the original hack as I did a site upgrade using Impex and MOST of my member's userid shifted. So, using this, I should be able to prevent these members from registereing unless they are clever enough to clear the cookies in their browser or register from a second PC that they had not previously logged in from...
I'll have to try it! Works great even with my issues with duplicate IDs... The only addition I would like to see is an option to send a PM or start a new thread when a member tries to join that was flagged as already as being a member with the other member ID info... The way this works the members is put in the moderated list but there is no easy way to know it is there or why. No members have liked this post.

Woot... It works Now!!! I really needed this... I will leave it between the two coders that made the hacks to decide who deserves the credit as I just slapped the two pieces together....
If this was wrong of me to post the code here with the code from the original AE detector mod, send me a PM and I will remove it... No members have liked this post.

This fixed all my problems...
Now, I need to remove the code from the original hack that posts when they login as with almost 2000-members and about 1500 that have a new userid I got real tired of all the false hits... Now, I get a report when the new account is started and NOT when userids shift because of a site upgrade... I have tested this quite a bit on my site (my hybrid of the two hacks) and it seems stable on my site and it would report as few as two or as many as I care to create! Simply awsome... Thanks!
