Duplicate Entries

Currently I can add multiple entries(with all 3 fields having the same data) to 'My Spammers' section. Why is that?

Re: Duplicate Entries

Its so that we can get the most reliable "last seen" times for spammers.

Re: Duplicate Entries

But since adding the spammer to 'My Spammer' list does not allow him to register on my forum again, a condition would not arise where I would have to submit the same spammer's details again.

Re: Duplicate Entries

You are fortunate in this as on another forum I moderate, banned users can return although they cant post etc. so I watch for this as often they use the same login details but their IP changes with each visit so I try to add any new IP I see them use that is not listed, here.

Re: Duplicate Entries

you dont have to submit them again, the facilities are there so that others can add duplicate data.

Re: Duplicate Entries

It's not duplicate as such, the difference is I submit the same username and e-mail BUT the IP differs from previous entries as I check that is is not already recorded on Spambot search tool first.
