This clone blocker is used for different nicknames with same IP.
And it is quit normal that a user with banned nick and banned IP can reconnect after a while, because he has not a fix IP and the nick can be changed easily.
And due to the fact that a user has not a fix IP, your situation will always come back.

The only way (this is my opinion only) is that a user while he is regging in your hub gives you a dynamic IP address (like no-ip or dynDNS or many others) and you always check when the user is connecting if the nick belongs to the IP his client is sending to you.

Ip pattern is the most important thing for security reasons, Ip pattern keeps the nick attached with the ip permenently, so no other can use eachothers ips & nick, External Scripts can only prevents users to login from 2 nicks with the same ip, I have a local Area network with 2000+ users & I face this problem every day coz any 1 can change ip easily on lan & i feel help less when a banned users come back with others nick & but with the new ips, In external scripts this cannot be done coz they don't have registered userlist. also we can find users ip address from ptokax GUI, there are many other benefits with Ip Pattern.

Any way this is my last try with Ip pattern & I will not disturb u again with the same issue
Hope u'll understand wat i mean.
Thanks for help..
