Yeap, I’ve developed a “ban member devices” resource and it wasn’t allowed due to this very same reason: not reliable as it uses cookies. Link to comment

This app, as mentioned previously will add a unique cookie to users devices when they browse your forum. Its unique string associated with the users device will be saved to a table. So even if the user deletes their cookies, it won't matter. Anytime that an user will browse your forum from the same device, logged in from another account, i.e. as another user, his/her action(s) the unique key will be logged and it will display all users who logged in and what os system they used when a match is found. Let us take this scanario, user registers an account at your forum from his work pc and another from his home. Each time he/she does that, a unique string will be generated for each account and logged in the db table that the app adds. Now, whenever the user loggs in from either account, from both devices, the mod scans the table where the unique strings have been stored, and it will display the matched strings, a.ka.a the duplicate results.
