Troll/ip-tracker, detect multiple accounts/trolls [3.6 compatible]
Developer Last Online: May 2019 
This thread is in the Modification Graveyard.
Continuosly information about updates can also be found here.
Edit 2007-08-07 Since the script needs to be rebuilt from scratch due to some problems with it, I've decided to temporarily stop the distribution. On larger sites, this script may cause heavy lagging when active. There has also been reports on "duplicate keys", that should be fixed. To prevent more problems cause by this hack, it's removed and cannot be downloaded. History In 2005 a forum was founded, for a short period of time that was intended to work as a service for people with a common interest - a reality show. The forum grew big and the traffic was very intensive. Moderators worked day and night to assist the forum. Traffic and events in the show made people show different kind of feelings and some of them showed this in strange ways. They said "I'd better register 10 nicknames, just to secure that noone can ban me". Sometimes, when they got banned, they registered new nicks and sometimes they switched ips but they didn't post anything the same day. Next day, they switched ip again and it suddenly got much harder to trace their nicks back to the start. In 2006, the forum opened again (new season) and we was prepared for this. A script, specialized to trace trolls, was written and the main purpose was to trace things that vBulletin missed. This plugin was requested at the vBulletin forums. Now, it's here, as a beta production - a trolltracker that stamps all visitors even if they don't post anything. It also, partially, checks if an ip-address can be traced from anonymous proxies by reading headers that proxies are sending to he server (HTTP_VIA and HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR). Templates to change (Optional): 3 Attached trolltracker-2.0.3beta.zip - the main archive with the tracker and extras iptracker.php - A quickfix for the coming version 2.0.4 that changes the SHOW COLUMNS-behaviour-bug in the tracker The archive The zip should contain the following files
How to install
Track older ips (2.0.x) If you want to import older posts, you can do that, but because of timeouts (and bad scripting) trollpost.php may timeout if you run the script from a web-browser. This part is, currently, unsupported, but if someone has any ideas here, feel free to notify me. OPM Support The ip-tracker supports RBL Monitor. How to use it Use the tracker by calling http://your-forum.com/iptracker.php Database The installation creates a table named user_troll for your forum. The FQDN-support also adds a table called user_trollresolver for the resolver cache (like the one used in the OPM monitor) Information and issues
See CHANGELOG for full details Show the tracker in navbar (v2.0.1+) To show the tracker in the navbar (only for the admingroups that can be found in the options), edit your template 'navbar' and add this code where you want it to be shown:
I chose to put it in the end of navbar, right after this code:

I still have no good solution for this, but I've been working with similar things that still is working quite nice - and is a bit coorporative with the AE-Detector.
Of course, there could be a possibility to make it work as the DNSBL-Plugin does, by caching the lates nicknames, but still, if the database is too large there might be some problems with the speed. Due to a lot of "side-work", my time is limited, but I'll try to make an upgrade soon. If you have any suggestions on how to make the tracker better, that would be nice too.

There is not. If I understand TMM-TT right, then the hack as it is now will not be continued, but needs a rewrite or a new approach. As it is now it will crash your site once it has gathered enough entries.

That's correct, and to limit any type of damage, the zip is now removed from the project until that happens.
I have some ideas, the problem is to make that work without making large sites lag, etc. This text has been added to the description today: Since the script needs to be rebuilt from scratch due to some problems with it, I've decided to temporarily stop the distribution. On larger sites, this script may cause heavy lagging when active. There has also been reports on "duplicate keys", that should be fixed.
