price: 25 euro [M.A.D] Multiple Accounts Detector

[Miss_B]

Description:

• This app scans the database to detect members who have multiple accounts at your forum, and it will list the results. You can also auto ban new multiple registrations of members who have previously registered an account and/or accounts at your forum. The auto banning is done on basis of ip addresses and devices. You can also exclude ip addresses and devices from being auto banned when registering multiple accounts.

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 expiration 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 results based on members names.

Auto Banning:

• All users who will try to register multiple accounts using the same ip address or device can be banned automatically upon registrations. Admins can exclude ip address(es) and device(s) from being banned. 

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 database, but queries the relevant Ipb tables.

Payment Method:

• Paypal Only. If you are interested in purchasing this app please contact me in private.

Why not extend the app further, such as adding the blocking feature

Can you please tell me what blocking feature did you have in mind?

[Elias]

For example, add rules to discover scheduled accounts, so that if a duplicate account is detected, it is automatically blocked or their account is pending approval, informing the user of the reason for the ban.

If this is a job for a fee, tell me the cost.

I remember that there is an application on Xenforo, which has these features

Do you mean for new registrations? Do you want the check to be based on ip addresses or Devices?

Yes, if I were to add requested features in the app, they will be done as a custom job for an extra fee.

I want to have an option to activate the ban for duplicate accounts, whether on devices or IP,

I also want to show the user the reason for the ban and tell him the names of his duplicate accounts.

Tell me the cost.

Thanks

Thank you for your reply. Right now I don't have much free time for coding, but I've made a note of your request and I will get back to you soon.

I am also interested in this. 

My use case: I offer limited services for regular members and users are supposed to buy a premium membership if they want more. So, they will often register with multiple accounts to cheat the system. If I only do the multiple-accounts check occasionally, I am already too late. I need to stop them as soon as they try to register a second account.

I have added this at the top of my to do list and I will be looking into it as soon as next weekend.

It has been updated with an auto ban feature. The app"s description and screenshots have been updated to reflect the new feature.

All customers who want to make use of the new version please contact me in private.

What’s the difference between “Same IP“ and “Shared IP“ banning? I am not sure I get it.

The first one is for the ip addresses shared during registrations. The second one it checks for ip addresses shared when members login and browse the forum.
