Why is the dupe detector so bad at detecting dupes?
 

Dupes can and do post dozens of posts/threads before the stupid thing even triggers. What's the deal? It's just comparing IPs right? That seems like a trivial thing that should happen immediately, not hours later...

I can usually identify dupes by name and posting style long before the detector goes off.

Example: tulisa

First post: 7:10AM [[url]http://www.genmay.com/showthread.php?p=25319728#post25319728[/url]]

dupedetector finally triggers: 12:04 PM [[url]http://www.genmay.com/showthread.php?t=845960[/url]]

5 hours to compare IP addresses?

:wtf:

it's broken :(

Example: i'm really new :)

that's my point. that shit should be detected instantly but there is a seriously long grace period where the dupe detector just herps and derps around.

your IP's are stored every single time you post m8. with a mod panel i can look at your entire IP history along with any edits you've made to posts no matter how ninja.
