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.

ive had problems in the past with false reporting, but it was after i did some work on the forum that changed the user number. if this is something that you could have done, i think its addressed in the beggining of this thread. you have to rename the cookie, or something like that. i just waited it out and as the users cleaned up there puters, it wasnt an issue anymore.
