So instead of seperate emails, should Xenforo have a feature or addon: Check if that's a gmail account and if there are "dots" or "plus", that new account's gmail can be compared with others'.
I don't think so, actually. I mean, I have never come across any automated spammer / bot that uses this technique to register multiple accounts at a site. Such a work around would probably be used by a human spammer, and there really isn't any way to avoid them. Personally, I wouldn't worry till I see such a technique employed by a bot and actually going through with email confirmation to get an activated account. Otherwise, all such 'multiple' accounts would be taken care of when I prune the unconfirmed registrations every 3 months or so.
