My problem is that some users already registered in my forum are cloning the accounts and I need a mod for banning ip but all the mods I can find include files with code for replacing it but some of the files don't exist in the forum. The version of Snitz that I use is Snitz Forums 2000 Version 3.4.05. Someone have a mod for this problem?

Hello,

This has been posted before, but I will post it again:
Code:
<%
if request.servervariables("REMOTE_ADDR") = "(IP Address 1)" or request.servervariables("REMOTE_ADDR") = "(IP Address 2)" or request.servervariables("REMOTE_ADDR") = "(IP Address 3)" or request.servervariables("REMOTE_ADDR") = "(IP Address 4)" then
Response.Redirect "http://www.fbi.gov"
end if
%>
I place that code at the very top in inc_header.asp (with the right IP addresses) and is seems to work for me.
I hope it helps. <
Cheers,

David Greening

You can't ban a person by banning their IP - simple.<

I've implemented the IP Gate mod, and it works magnificently.
But, quick question ; how do you know they're cloning their accounts ? Same IP, different accounts ? Those cóuld be multiple persons behind a proxy, sharing the same IP.
I'd be carefull on blocking people based on multiple accounts sharing the same IP. (And, like Laser said, the ones that want to get in, will get in, even if you ban their IP's. They'll just use a way around that.)<

If they are using a fixed IP you can.

A company (bank) that I used to work for have a fixed IP and I stop them from getting on to my sites, only cause they told me it was against company policy to go to non-work related sites, and I kept getting there IP in logs.
The other thing, is most people on broadband services these days has either a static IP or, as in cable users, they have a long term dynamic IP and most of there hacking stuff is on their local machine. It would make it hard for the users then to do any damage if they had to go to another machine that did not have their tools. evil
It is better than nothing at all. I have IP gate one of my sites and it works good as well. I just took it as he wanted something quick to add to a file to ban an number of IP addresses. <
