User numbers not adding up after using wizard

  • We just installed WangGuard and ran the wizard for the first time. It identified sploggers and spammers, but the categories are just the same listing of users.

    All members: 30,949
    Verified members: 16,068
    Spammers: 7433
    Sploggers: 7435 (the extra 2 is from two checked manually after the scan that I guess didn’t list as spammers.)

    Spammers and sploggers are identical user accounts so these numbers don’t add up. It only adds up to the “All Members” number when you count spammers and sploggers as unique accounts which isn’t the case.

    Hi nimaha,

    I’m sorry, but i don’t understand your question.

    All Members, are all registered users.
    Verified members, are not splog users, or sploggers not detected by WangGuard.
    Spammers, are users marked as spam
    Sploggers, are users marked as sploggers.

    A user can be marked as spam, but not as splogger or marked as splogger but not as spam.

    Ha, then your confusion is the same as mine as your last comment does not appear to be holding true for us.

    The list of Spammers and the list of Sploggers is the same. The same users are counted in both categories.

    So while WangGuard is reporting 30,949 users in total, the Spammers/Sploggers + Verified Members is only adding up to 23,504 once you eliminate the double counted users.

    That probably won’t make sense to you if that’s not normal behavior, but I can send you screen shots if that’d help visualize the problem.

    Can you look if are all your users checked?

    Maybe the problem is that not all users were checked…

    If you want, you can contact with us here https://www.wangguard.com/contact/

    All users have been checked. If it’s preferable to you guys, I’ll send a message through the contact form.

    Haven’t heard anything via the contact form. In addition to the above, I’m noticing that we’re coming across a lot of users that have “No Status” but there are 0 Unchecked Users. So it would seem a lot of users still need to be checked even though WangGuard isn’t reporting them.

    Hi nimaha,

    I responded you by email, but seams that not arrive.

    I don’t know why, but the wizard is not checking all your users. Maybe timeout?

    Kind regards
