What version are you using? Older versions (ie: 2.4x and maybe 2.5x) would consider whitelists when doing averaging. A user with an average of 0 would get +50 out of the AWL if a message scoring -100 came in.

Newer versions should do their scoring evaluation without respect for the user configured whitelists, but might count def_whitelist_* commands (which you should NOT be using anyway).


In general I'd suggest reading the AWL FAQ for an understanding of HOW the AWL works in the first place, so you can make sense of it's behaviors..
