Hi,
I want to know what are the methods used to catch hold of cheaters with multiple accts. I am planning on starting a GPT....so....I wanted to know. I know that IP address is one way.....but how is it done. And are there any other ways.

CC has a link were you see people with double accounts. It's automatic, after you can use cheat links!

IP address is very simplistic.

When a member registers you store their IP address in your database. I also have my script update the IP address each time they login (incase of IP recyling). But this does not stop members with dialup who just need to re-connect to get a different IP address.

Other ways are very easy..ppl being stupid. Either using the same name, same password, same payment information, etc. All with the same upline.

And another way is to timestamp all things the members do, so if people in the same downline click things only a few minutes a part with the same IP address or close to the same address it is usually a good indication.

Hope that helps.

In any way it is a good job for programmers...

So.....in other words, there is NO absolute foolproof way to catch hold of cheaters. Is that right? What about this dns thing? I heard something about it but I dont know what it stands for or means. Does anyone know?

DNS=Domain Name Server

So....can this dns be used to catch hold of people with multiple accounts?

DNS as far as I know can't do that. DNS basically is a web host server, I think.

DNS as mentioned above means Domain Name Server.

All it does is a reverse look up of the server.

Meaning if you type in www.yahoo.com your dns server does a reverse look up of yahoo.com and resolves its IP address.

It also does the opposite way. If you type in yahoo's ip address your dns server does a reverse look up and resolves it to www.yahoo.com

And a web server runs a DNS server to resolve that as well. A web server owns a bunch of IP address'es and it assigns them the domains they host.

So DNS will not be able to help you.
