Topic: when tried to Register from a same IP

When more than one from the same ip tried to register in the forum from the same ip it shows the error message that   "A new user was registered with the same IP address as you within the last hour. To prevent registration flooding, at least an hour has to pass between registrations from the same IP. Sorry for the inconvenience."

How can i reduce the time interval for new registration from the same ip address.

Re: when tried to Register from a same IP

Try elbekko's custom register timeout mod.

Re: when tried to Register from a same IP

In that case, just skip elbekko's mod and remove this block of code from register.php:

// Check that someone from this IP didn't register a user within the last hour (DoS prevention)
    $result = $db->query('SELECT 1 FROM '.$db->prefix.'users WHERE registration_ip=\''.get_remote_address().'\' AND registered>'.(time() - 3600)) or error('Unable to fetch user info', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

    if ($db->num_rows($result))
        message('A new user was registered with the same IP address as you within the last hour. To prevent registration flooding, at least an hour has to pass between registrations from the same IP. Sorry for the inconvenience.');
