How to: DISABLE multi user registration (limit 1 account per user)

[Andrew]

I have searched high and low for this. I can't seem to find a way to prevent my users from making more than one account at a time. I appreciate your help.

All user accounts require a unique email address.

Can you clarify what you mean by "prevent my users from making more than one account at a time"?

If you mean the same person is registering more than once using different email addresses and/or IP addresses, then there's very little that can be done as the software sees them as different users.

 

[Andrew]

1 account per IP address, to be more specific. If they use a proxy to register a new account, then they win, but most my users don't know what a proxy is.

 

[Paul B]

That's not currently possible, only duplicate email address checking is implemented.

 

[Andrew]

Ok thank you Brogan.

Do you mean something like this mod I have coded for vb?

If you would like to block users from using proxies to register at your forum, have a look at my mod.

Don't know if you've seen this:

It's not IP per say but it's cookie based

That doesn't prevent users from registering more than one account from the same ip. That is something totally different btw

Installed and did a quick test.
Hidemyass did not allow log in with the message

virtualsurfer.net has no problem.

Any plan to make this more useful? like send Admin an alert when someone is detected of using proxy?
