An email option is a good suggestion I will try to add in a future version. The debate whether a post or email is better is just going to be personal preference. I like keeping records as posts since I have a forum for all sorts of automated reports- but I can certainly understand the desire to have it by email instead.

In this respect the Gold and Free versions work the same.

Yes and no... The same posts will be re-reported if they are within the look back window of both reports, but each day that goes by the oldest duplicates will fall off the report. So if your post look back window is 7 days on the day 1 report you will see all duplicates in the last 7 days. But by day 4 you'll see only 3 days of duplicates as by your example there have been no duplicates for 4 days at that point.

Honestly... If you have all that many duplicates there's a problem... If your site is small then people are definitely using "Alter egos" - If you have a very busy site your look-back window would be a lot shorter, just because there are too many posts to query at once. So on a super busy forum I would image a look back window of only say 3 days instead of 7 or 30. A 3 day window means about 33% of the reports are new each night.

For example on my OT forum which has about 100 active members on any given day and maybe 300 unique members in a month, I do a post look-back of 7 days. After cleaning up all the initial multiple-accounts found by this mod, sometimes weeks go by with no duplicates reported- what is is just the occasional mobile users who wind up on the same IP.

Whitelisting specific IPs or usernames are an option but no way to not show duplicates previously reported if they fall in the same look-back window.

I suppose you can edit the scheduled task to run once a week instead of every night, then set a look-back window of 7 days, so each time it runs it is completely fresh data that will only be reported once, but in that case you could go an entire week before being notified about a duplicate account.

All of these reports are being moderated.

How do I stop them from being moderated?

Didn't see a setting...

I have this installed on 4 forums. On one of them, I have the same problem - all posted reports are placed in moderation. I have checked, double-checked, and triple-checked all settings I can think of and I can't find anything different for the one with the moderated posts. Moreover, two of those forums are on the same server - one works without moderation; the other puts all reports into moderation.

I'm bewitched, baffled, and bewildered.

Even the add-ons in the two forums on the same server are largely the same. If anything, the one that works properly may have a few more add-ons.

Totally stumped.

Sounds like a [S]bug[/S].... I mean, unspecified feature somewhere ;)


It does drive me crazy how it fills the moderation section up, and the weird thing is that it doesn't do it everyday. Some days it posts like it should :cool:

It is anti-spam software moderating posts, either a 3rd party mod or if you have an Anti-Spam Service enabled in options.

If a 3rd party mod you should be able to whitelist the user who makes the posts.

I am the user making the posts (and an Admin) but none of my other posts get moderated.

It's possible it doesn't like the IP address saved for the post and basing moderation decision on that. If you search the PHP file for

127.0.0.1

You can replace it with any ip address you want, see if that helps. If it does I will make it a user option.

Same here djbaxter, which is how I first noticed the problem. It didn't make any sense that user ID 1 would be moderated :p I checked and I am using two spam mods; Spambot Stopper (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...pambot+stopper) and Spam-o-Matic (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...pambot+stopper). I have disabled Spambot Stopper to remove it from the equation, and when I looked through Spam-o-matic I did notice that it has a moderation feature, so I turned that off. I'll see if that helps.

Any way to set this to check weekly? I looked in the scheduled tasks and it appears I can only do daily or monthly by choosing a specific date.

There is a "Day of Week" option drop-down in the Scheduled Task editor.
