Same Person - Multiple User Names

[CricketWeb]

I'm having problems with some people registering multiple user names under my forum. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

You can't really prevent it. It it's really bad you could turn on user moderation for registration, and keep an eye on the new members that register. All you can really do is find the other user names they have registered with, and remove them.

Nothing that will work 100%, but you can make it inconvenient for them. See your Admin CP -> Options -> vBulletin Options -> [User and registration options] - there are tons of restrictions you can set.

I just noticed a hack at vb.org that you may find interesting:

If they've already posted under both names, there's another hack over at vb.org that lets you merge users.

You can also change your settings in your admin cp to dissallow this (users ability to create multiple accounts)
