Detect and Investigate Alternate Accounts
Identify Accounts Sharing an IP
When you suspect a player is using multiple accounts, run /alts <player> to instantly see all other player accounts that have logged in from the same IP address. This reveals ban evasion attempts and coordinated rule-breaking.
Cross-Reference with History
After identifying potential alts, use /history <player> on each account to compare their punishment records. Similar infractions or coordinated timing may indicate the same person operating multiple accounts.
Take Action on Confirmed Alts
Once you've confirmed an alternate account, apply appropriate sanctions. Use /tempban, /mute, or /sanction on the alt account with a reason noting it's linked to the primary account. Document the connection in your reasoning.
Monitor New Connections
Regularly check /alts on flagged players to catch new accounts before they cause problems. This proactive approach prevents repeat offenders from circumventing previous punishments and maintains server integrity.
