I can attest that at times this modification has produced false positives. On a forum I previously ran I had a few instances of this happening. In one case the two accounts being reported by AE Detector were a staff member's account and some spammer account that had been banned. Since the spammer account was banned and neither myself or the other staff member ever logged in as the spammer, there is no way AE Detector should have noticed a problem. Yet it did. I will admit it did not happen often but I have seen a few instances.

Since installing AE Detector on my latest forum a few months ago, I have not had any problems with false positives.
