Multiple Account Detection & Prevention
Developer Last Online: Oct 2011 
It happens all of the time. Some members will make multiple accounts to back their own opinion or get an extra vote in a poll. Here's a modification that will detect and prevent multiple accounts, as well as notify the administration about multiple accounts. Inspiration for this modification came from the work of MPDev (creator of the Multiple Account Login Detector) and randominity (creator of the Multiple Account Registration Prevention). This is basically a combination of those two modifications but with new and improved functionality.
This is not an update to the "Multiple Account Login Detector (AE Detector)" nor is it an update to the "Multiple Account Registration Prevention." If you have either one of these (or both of them) installed, you should uninstall them before installing this modification. With the initial release of Multiple Account Detection & Prevention, I believe that I have fixed previous bugs/complications as well as improved the efficiency and logic of the code. This is my first publicly released modification. I would appreciate any comments and suggestions! Confirmed! This works perfectly on all vBulletin 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8 versions. Unfortunately, I cannot give support right now. I may be able to help periodically, but until my schedule yields some more free time, I won't be much support. Please check back in a week or two. Basic Details File Edits: None Template Edits: None New Files: 6 Hooks/Plugins: 3 Global Phrases: 36 Install Time: 2 Minutes or Less Install Difficulty: None, Very Easy Features and Settings - Login Detection - Registration Prevention (Multiple Methods) - Ignore Child Accounts - Ignored Users - Ignored Usergroups - Ignored ISPs - Prevention Usergroup - IP Address Based Prevention - Extended IP Address Prevention - IP Address Time Inclusion - Banned Account Check - Primary Banned Usergroup - Cookie Expiration Time - Cookie Refreshing - Cookie Name - Cookie Reset - Multiple Account Reporter - Reports via PM - PM Report Recipients - Reports via New Thread - Forum for Report Threads - Verbose Mode - BB Codes: LIST, URL, CODE How it Works With every newly recognized login/registration, an account-counting cookie is set (or added onto) with the member's User ID. Depending on the settings, Multiple Account Detection & Prevention will analyze the cookie during login/registration to see if there are any multiple accounts. Login Detection offers cookie-checking and reporting. Registration Prevention offers the same thing, plus more advanced features. First of all, when it prevents an account from registering, it actually moves the registrant to the Prevention Usergroup so that the administration can review the case. This also allows for customized privileges for recognized multiple registrants. Registration Prevention also has IP address detection which finds out just as much information about users. Depending on an administrator's preference, this modification can also reban a new registrant if one of their previous accounts has been banned. In fact, if the administration wishes, multiple registrants can simply be denied registration all together. Whenever there is a detection/prevention, the modification will report the information to the administration through private messages, a new thread, or both (depending on settings). The Multiple Account Reporter can be any valid user. Known Issues - vB Optimise users: Reporting via thread seems to get messed up by vB Optimise, so try reporting via PM instead. - PhotoPost vBGallery users: The registration handling appears to not work properly when PhotoPost vBGallery is enabled. From what I can tell, these known clashes have been caused by the other modification's coding. The author of vB Optimise will not even work with me to fix it. Until they improve their coding, I'm not sure if I can do anything about these issues. As far as I know, administrators that do not use the above modifications will not have any problems. Installation / Upgrade Unzip the package (madp.zip), upload the files to your forum location, and import the product file (allow overwrite if upgrading). Please read the ReadMe.txt file that is packaged with the modification for more information. Please remember to mark this modification as installed if you use it! If you like it, nominate it for the Mod of the Month! Thank you!  Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information. Screenshots Show Your Support

Does anyone know if there is an option that limits how much one can register per IP?

This works on 4.1.11; but am worried as the Developer was Last Online since Oct 2011... We need someone to take care of this and keep it updated for vB4 users.

This causes an issue if you have http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=247399 installed and a duplicate user registers.
On a new user's registration it shows the error message as if a user tried to post a link (which I think is caused by the system trying to create a thread for a duplicate user per this modification). The following members like this post: furnival

Will install this on a VB 4.2 board and report if it doesn't work. This worked a treat on my VB 3.8 board, a must-have weapon against the hordes!
