johnsmith153 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Does anyone have a solution to the AOL IP address problem? I need to limit people on my site who post messages they shouldn't etc. AOL IP's change reqularly apparently. What do I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkWater Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 You can't do anything about that. You can restrict the username and make them have to re-register, which is a hassle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadion Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Ban all of them by range (drastic solution) or as stated above, ban by username. You cant do anything about it, as long as AOL is using proxies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman6003 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I think I would ban people who use AOL just on principle.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezkit Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 <?php if($connection == AOL){ echo "This is 2008, dial up is for 18th century, thank you and bye"; } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 All dynamically assigned IP addresses can change regularly and can be changed deliberately by the user by simply resetting his cable/dsl modem. This is not an AOL specific problem. If you want to have the ability to stop someone from posting on your web site, you need to use an email verified registration and login system.
