Marty, 2026-09-16, after @megamol created megamol2/megamol3 under his own link and bought $20 on each
to fake his two qualifying buyers. fraud.js records sign-up IP/UA/browser id (iap.dev cookie set with
the code request) and last-seen on sign-in. New accounts: dup-device (browser already has an account)
and sponsor-device are refused, ip-burst (> fraudMaxSignupsPerIpDay, default 2, per 24h) is refused;
sponsor-ip and shared-ip are flagged only. Flagged/suspended accounts never count on the leaderboard
and cannot adopt from the tank; suspended accounts are signed out everywhere (auth.fromRequest
wrapper) and refused at sign-in. Admin > Members: Duplicate signals card (shared browser / IP,
flagged, suspended), flags badge, Suspend/Unsuspend; GET /api/admin/fraud; PATCH members {suspend,
reason, flags}. Telegram admin alert on every block/flag. Privacy page + chatbot prompt updated.
