IP tracking the best. If like more then a certain number of account is created by the same IP address then should take action or stop him from creating.Originally posted by hiphop2009:hmmm.....nt a too gd idea though.

I mentioned in Support forum before
maximum of 20 new topics in 20 hours... I think it will severely limit clone's capabilities.
and perhaps maximum 10 new topics in 20 hours for newbies -
how about mummy or daddy permission?Originally posted by sand king:

Just thought of one more possibility, but it's a little hard on programming, and a little too outrageous
If more than 20 (or any number) people with more than 2000 (or any number) posts gives a "warning point" to a poster (spammer, clone, etc) within a certain time frame, then the clone will be temporarily stopped from posting. Till FI or Jason checked it out... -

I just hope that if they really implement it, it won't screw up the forum like last time...Originally posted by hiphop2009:hmm....hopes fifi jie or jason will give a serious thought on it....
Anyway I think Jason is very much into advertising webspace for earning money now... May be less concerned about such minute things -
Pls give realistic and smart suggestions pls

Whatever you do won't stop clones or spammers.
The way things work in international forums is to ignore those posts by them, and quickly shoot off a PM to the moderators/administrators who are online at that time for them to take action.
Mass banning is doable, as some forums have this feature.
As stated, an average forumer doesn't start so many topics in one day, so it's possible to limit that.
We can also have the warning system, but I doubt sgF wants it again. Because we used to feature threads in such a manner and it resulted in abuse. If clones were to use this feature, many innocent people will get banned and there will be a lot of work to do to unban.
Some forums have gone all the way to banning free email accounts from being registered. Although this isn't a popular move, still people signed up for it. Clones and spammers have too many free accounts to abuse.
But then again, Starhub don't provide users with a free email account... so it's not doable. I'm not sure for PacNet. Singnet users do have one account. -
I have another idea recently
IP ban from a certain forum for 15~30 mins by moderator.
