Multiple Memberships IP Warning system.

First topic message reminder :

Most sites have a ip scanner system on them that will flag up the members that have the same ip address and tell the admin's the ip and the names of the users.

Right now the only way to see the ip and the ones that have more then one account is when the member makes a post then you can click on the ip button.

Only then it will show you a list of ip's and names of the account used With that same ip Address

How this system would work:

The system would be in the ACP in the Security page or Users & Groups >> Under Handle users

The system will be like this And the member would not need to post at all before you see this info.
it would only work if the ip is the same thou.

example:

WARNING: This user has more then one account With the ip address.

User Name	IP Address	Date	ISP Host Name	Allow/Disallow Options
Dave	189/35/9*	12/03/10	ISP WOULD GO HERE	Allow/Disallow user?
Lee	189/35/9*	23/05/11	ISP WOULD GO HERE	Allow/Disallow user?
Ellie	189/35/9*	25/05/11	ISP WOULD GO HERE	Allow/Disallow user?

You the Admin would then pick yes or no to the user's account's

• If you click yes then it would then Not flag up again unless they made one or more account's again,
  
• If you pick NO then An Email would be sent out saying that the Security system has found there ip to be the same as one other member and has banned the new account or some thing like that or a Admin could Email them telling them why there account was locked out.
  

I know some admin's make a test account on there forums so this system would help by saying yes to there own accounts.

Please give me your votes and comments, If you Vote NO please say why i will not be Affended in anyway


Thank you.

Sounds good.

Very Good idea . Voted to YES

voted yes.

Not a single "no" vote

I vote yes, but I would prefer a different way.

I am voting yes, that what I need. Nowadays too many clones tried to post as different users by using different emails. That should help us to deter such attempts.

Thank you for your vote Nick
If you think there is a better way then please do post it.
I think there is other ways to do it but this is the way i have seen it in other forum sites as a mod (add on)well sort of like that anyway as i don't have admin rights to that site now i can't get a screen shot of what it really looks like. but it is almost likehow i have posted.

Yes from me. I hate having to wait until someone post or I can catch them online to see their IP. I have trolls that don't post or get online for weeks after registering then at 3 or 4 in the morning post some obscenity that by the time I see it several others have as well.
