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

I don't see anything that says this will work with 4.x.x which is what I am using. Will it work on 4.x.x?

Excellent news on picking this up again, it's great, but could use an overhaul and a lot of the requested features.
Thanks for the work you've already done on it and the work you plan on putting into it! No members have liked this post.

Let me make a note of something.

When a person likes one thing (be it a person or a modification for forum software), said person will typically defend it, even if it comes down to intentionally providing misinformation. Now I know vBOptimize is an awesome modification and it beats the hell out of mine, but try to have a little decency here.
I have directly asked Deceptor three times now for help in trying to resolve the conflict between my mod and vBOptimize. Have I received any messages from Deceptor or DBTech asking for my cooperation in resolving this? No. Any responses to MY requests? Nope. FreshFroot didn't contact me either, hence why this affectionate message was posted in the first place.

The problem here is that you were willing to post here, saying that I wasn't told `otherwise` when a fan attempts to label me as a liar before you tried to contact me even once. I would have loved to find a message in my inbox from DBTech or Deceptor, but as it stands I have not.
If you're willing to work with me, contact me via PM. The sooner, the better. If a solution is found, I will release a new version with the fix included so vBOptimize users can use MADP and vice versa without any conflict.

For those wondering we have never turned down a request for access to the files. While I cannot vouch for Deceptor, I can say that the official DBTech vb.org account, DBTech emails and the personal accounts of the DBTech owners at dragonbyte-tech.com have never received a request for the files. I should also note that you never responded to my post here in this thread, which is unsurprising since you seemed to flat out abandon the mod for several months. It seems to me like you are trying to shift the blame onto us because you dropped off the radar and stopped updating your mod for 5 months or so, which strikes me as rather cheap and petty. Regardless, the offer still stands: if you would like access to the files feel free to drop me a PM or an email and i'll get them sent over to you =) Iain

For example perhaps you only detect via IP - Use a proxy Perhaps you detect by cookie - clear your cookies Maybe you have both settings enabled - use a proxy and clear your cookies. Some of your users may be wise to the detection methods. No members have liked this post.

How does giving access to files alone mean that you are willing to fix the problem? I do not understand this 'If you want to fix it for us, then we will provide you access' attitude. I'm sorry if I am misunderstanding you but as I see it there is an issue with either your product or this addon and it needs the effort of both you and Kiros to resolve it. So just giving access to the files effectively means that you are not willing to participate in resolving it. Please correct me if I am understanding this wrong. I have been trying to purchase your product for over a year now and together with others we have repeatedly asked you to try resolve this. Instead of fixing the issue, we are seeing an unprofessional quarrel for a year that does not reflect on your company in a positive manner. I've noticed posts about this on various websites. Please take into account that Kiros is providing a free service here on vb.org
