Hey! if it's possible and if it's doesn't exist, i want two mod, a mod who can verify if the email used by the guest who want to register is real or just a fake, and the other one, that if a body register two accounts at the same pc got banned forever automatically, if anyone can, reply :)
1. Do you use confirmation by email when a new member register to your forum? If so this will avoid users registering with a fake email. By fake email do you also mean temporary email? If so you can ban those domains or use this http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1493
2.how you control if a user is already registered? By ip? If so this is not an accurate method
Also what happens if a brother and sister both register on your site form their parent's computer? You could, potentially have 4 real users from the same computer in that case...
So, what you are asking for in your second request is just a poor idea to begin with.
email verification is a standard feature, as radu already pointed out - but even that is mostly pointless if you are using it as a way to try to control spammers... there are much better ways
ty Kindred, but on my forum tules, i already told 2members per ip! and i'm also bored of players who register also with a spamm, so maybe i can change this rules to be 4members per computer max :)
if anyone can, feel free to reply

Use this feature:
other than the "email activation" (in other words, the system sends an email to that address with a link that must be clicked) there is no way to validate that an email is "real" in any automatic sense.
I mean, I can create a domain called "blargit.top" and use emails from there.... it looks "fake" but could be real...
as for IPs... remember, many ISPs use dynamic assignments. Which means that a user's IP may change over time, even form the same computer. Also, they could be accessing from a mobile device or someone else's house... and that also means that someone else could eventually "inherit" the old IP. Finally, there are proxy servers...
This is why banning by IP address is basically useless these days - and pretty much any identification solely on IP is a waste of time.
you got a point, well, so i'il add waiting approval email :)
