Description: This app scans the database to detect members who have rmultiple accounts at your forum, and it will list the results. Detection Method: The detection method is being done in 4 ways. 1) Registration Method: This method is based on scanning the members table for members who have registered more than one account at your forum from the same ip. The ip address in question will be displayed with the latest multiple account. When the ip address is clicked upon, it will display all the other aliases of that member. 2) Posting Method: This method is based on scanning the posts table for members who have posted from more than one account at your forum from the same ip. The ip address in question will be displayed with the latest multiple account. When the ip address is clicked upon, it will display all the other aliases of that member as well as the posts and topics that they have posted. 3) Ip Login Method: This method is based on scanning members known ip addresses, i.e. their last used ips, during the login and if a member has logged in to different accounts from the same ip, the action will be logged and displayed. 4) Device Detection Method: This is the most accurate method imo. Ipb adds a unique cookie to members devices when they log in to the forum. The cookie exparation date is set to one year and its unique string is associated with the users device and stored in the device table. This means if someone logs in to your forum, logs out and then logs in using another account and a different ip address, then it can tell that it was the same person. It means that person has to use same machine, same browser irrespective of the ip address he/she is using. Search: All 4 multiple accounts detection methods have a quick search option where you can search the resuts based on members names. Compatibility: This app is compatible with Ipb 5 only. If you are using the Ipb 4.7. version of the app you will have to uninstall it first. Then you can install this one. No data will be lost as the app doesn't add a table of its own to the dataabse, but queries the relevant Ipb tables. Payment Method: Paypal Only.
