I came cross users in our user list with multiple accounts with different user names only. Is there any way to setup RULES for registration? Is there any plugin please?
In OJS 2.x, user account emails must be unique, and the email is validated to ensure that it’s a correct format. We don’t currently enforce unique ORCiDs, but I don’t think that’s a problem you’re seeing, correct?
If you see a lot of apparently random or similar registrations, you may be seeing automated registrations from spam bots etc. I would suggest enabling RECAPTCHA if that is the case; see your config.inc.php for details.

Duplicate accounts with the same email have been prohibited ever since OJS 2.0 was released; are you sure you haven’t made a local modification or something to permit this?

Sorry I found out they they use the same email ID but different provider, @yahoo, @gmail, @hotmail, Therefor I think making ORCID a unique condition
is much more secure.
Is there anything we can do manually to do this please
I am not programmer, so I do not dare to do any modification without
instruction. We leave it then. I hope it will be implemented in OJS 3, May
be a ORCID Plugin can adjust the whole journal based on every users unique
ORCID number.
