I'm actually bouncing PM's with Ole as we speak. And how are you going to ask two siblings never to post in the same topic, never to trade, etc?
Besides, as I already said, this does NOT automatically ban EVERYBODY, but it does, at the very least, display EVERY clashing IP.

Once the base format's done, it's EXTREMELY easy to set it so it doesn't ban anybody automatically and instead just gives notification.
It's the idea here, not the exact template.

I kinda like the idea, just not sure how hard it is to set up etc.....

#2 ... isn't this already in place? once a person is ipbanned ... all accounts created on that ip are also banned..

#3 people with static ips have a constantly changing ip.... you can log back each ip address that that person used to log onto jsp...
but if it is always changing .. you're just going to have a huge list of ip addresses that belong to that account.. it doesn't mean that they would use an old ip address to register a new account..

for example say one account is banned on a static ip address... the person then resets the address so it's new... they create another account..

what am i missing here?

1. You're missing the main idea. This will flag every single clashing IP, thus it would eliminate the need for multi report section. Every moderator would know instantly. This includes those created off proxys. Open 1 window, your post registration IPs will clash and you're done.

2. It doesn't matter. Running off a proxy changes the IP address for the window you're currently browisng in. Once you leave that window, you're back on your original IP. Aka, open up 1 link and you'll be on your IP, which sends up a notice. Aka one SINGLE slip and the staff would know. This means if you EVER log on an account on IP that you've been on before, it'll clash.

24 hour bump rule, right?

Yeah that's right Scott.

I could see this being very useful, so I voted yes

Good to know.

Voted yes. Would take a little bit of work, but should ultimately be an effective tool to keep the site clean.

Displaying and reporting IP addresses comes standard with any free forum software that you could search on google.

We allow 1 account per person. If people have family members or neighbors who share an IP, we recommend that all accounts shared in the household or area follow all site rules, as all accounts can be held liable for the actions of one.

i voted no it would screw people over they would have to share a acc if they lived in teh same house
