    It works fine, just the settings are hard to get. It detects multiple registratns and logins.
    Useful, seems to be working for me.

    It's very useful, especially when you install it with Paul M's proxy detector which shows the real IP of a user. Sweet stuff.

    I use it just to send me a PM when this happens, but it does work with 3.8, 3.7 as well. Can't recall trying it on 3.6, though.

    :doh:


    I'm not sure about resolving 'nice' proxies with that, which is what the other one seems to do. But trying to resolve any ip address will always be problematic compared to cookies.

    It did sound like he was talking about something new to me too at first :D

    I think this mod is very handy especially how it will tell you who is acting as who on your forums. We used to have another mod like this and every now and then we would find users pretending theyre someone else :D

    Personally im not too fond of the prevention side of it but the detection is certainly interesting.

    For the most part it does not matter to me if they have multiple accounts, depending on the members needs. I'm simply trying get information in case there are problems in the future.

    Yep. :)

    Really? It ignores the Proxy IP and keeps the real one banned. The user sees the "You are banned from this forum" message. Works for me, I don't see how it's useless.

    Also if you keep one banned, theres the Ban Evasion Filter Detector that pissed off one of my members after he has signed up again. I was laughing at how the two mods work well together. The MADAP can also catch multiple logins, and registrants by cookies;)
