Duckways: Multiple Account Detector
Mod Version: 1.00, by Jorandh

Multiple Account Detector

What is this mod all about?
We all know that one of the problems in managing a board is users creating multiple accounts. Banned users that return using a VPN or whatever. This plugin will detect multiple accounts used by the same user and create a report thread in a forum of your choice.

About Duckways
We're a company with a team of developers who have been working a lot on a vBulletin 4 system for two of our customers. The largest one with over 200,000 users and 4 million posts.
This one migrated to vBulletin 5 recently and we've faced quite some issues in vBulletin 5 which we'll fix by writing custom modifications. Some of those, which are worth sharing, will be added here on vBulletin.org. If you're missing a feature or add-on, please feel free to contact us.
