CJ Duplicate Member Logger 2.0.3

Seems to work well. 

Would like a feature to have it create a thread in a desired forum so mods could see the user list and their alts.

I had a previous review on here for 3 stars as there were some bugs, but happy to say as of version 1.2.0 everything is working great.  The notifications in the front end were a great addition and the way the system works is just brilliant.  Must have application when you have a site with limited daily content to certain member groups.  Inevitably many will just make another account to get around site limits.  Or even worse, trolling accounts.  Anyway this is now a must have and I could not thank @CodingJungle enough for fixing the issues and improving the application.  Great Job! 🖖

Provides that extra layer i require. Seems to work well so far.

It does log users with a the same device using cookies. Sending PM doesn't work. I keep trying and I don't know how to make it works.

I am hoping to also get feature that logs users with the same IP in an alternate tab. Because some user can just create another account using a different browser and it does not log.

We know that different visitors can have the same IP due to VPN nowadays, but not someone who just got banned and another user joined right away but with the same IP and then it is not logged by CJ Duplicate Logger.

Does what it says on the tin.

This is really cool but some of us have issues getting it to work. It tells me there is a duplicate but can't show me which accounts.

Good concept, but execution is lacking and support is difficult to obtain. Developer is very nice, yet has consolidated all support requests for their products into a single thread, making it challenging to filter through support requests for the product you're interested in. Product will work beginning at the moment it is installed and does not look at accounts created prior to install until those members log in again post install.

Sorting logged duplicate accounts by the various columns provided does not work in the moderator CP. There's no integration with a member's profile when a moderator views a member (for example, a way to see all alt accounts from the member profile would be wonderful), and no integration with the ACP's member view (no data about duplicate accounts shown in ACP, other than a repeat of what is seen in the Mod CP). It would be nice to see indications when looking at a member's profile on the public site for moderators and in the ACP for administrators. Sometimes blank accounts appear as duplicates, and there's no real way to drill into the logged duplicates other than reacting when a new notification appears of a duplicated account. The order appears by who has logged in most recently using a duplicate account and that's it.

Lacks integration with IPB device data. In ACP, you can drill into a member's devices and see those that are shared with other accounts. It would be nice to use that data as another detection metric in this application.

This could easily be a highly rated plugin with some UX love and tweaking. It skirts by as is, filling a need with a partially implemented hack that feels more like beta software than a robust solution. Would love to see this developed more to fully consider different use cases, such as review by moderators and staff in scenarios that aren't reactionary to a notification of a new duplicate member.

Update the last update everything works as expected.
