[not a bug] showgroups shows duplicate entries for mods in moderator group

[ckevin]

My leader page works but it shows two tables for Forum Moderators, one is with the forum they mod, another is just username and location (like the super mod. table at http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showgroups.php?s=), so how can I delete one of them? is it a bug?

Thanks a lot!

If you have them all in a moderator group I think this will happen. You got a URL where I can see this?

Thanks for your help, Kevin! It's at http://forum.imazn.com/showgroups.php?s=

Some Super moderators also mod. boards, so I hope it's not the reason.

Can you go into your admin CP and find out what group the user 'Tin' is in?

Tin - Moderators

Yep, that'll do it.

Moving to bugs...

This is not a bug, set the option to show your "Moderators" usergroup from being shown on the list to no. The list of moderators is generated dynamically as a forum can have moderators that do appear in any usergroup so you should not show a usergroup for which you may have placed your moderators into. The viewing user is also only shown Moderators who appear in forums that the user has access to.

Remember that vBulletin creates a moderator user group for your convienence but a user need not be placed into that group to be a moderator so we must not rely on that group to generate the list of moderators.
