Select the number of new members accounts per day, per IP


1. Definition

This is a security option that can limit the number of registrations from the same IP address to a number set by the admin for a duration of 24 hours (24 hours, not the current day).

This is to avoid creating multiple accounts and especially to identify the spammers! cheers

Obviously, for this option to work you need to make sure the  "Allow new members" option is activated!

Select the number of new members accounts per day, per IP Ip_ban10


2. Activating the option

Just go to Administration Panel > General > Forum > Security

Select the number of new members accounts per day, per IP Ip_ban11


Note: If you leave the field blank or put 0, it means that members will be able to create an unlimited number of accounts with the same IP address!


3. Example :


Example with 2 registrations / IP / day :

Select the number of new members accounts per day, per IP Ip_ban12

1st attempt is successful:  

Select the number of new members accounts per day, per IP Ip_ban13


2nd attempt is successful:

Select the number of new members accounts per day, per IP Ip_ban13


3rd attempt fails:  

Members will get this message:

Select the number of new members accounts per day, per IP Ip_ban14


It's now your turn to manage the daily number of registrations per IP!
