Discussion views count is incremented every time I open the discussion...

...whitout handling my recurring visit as the same user. The views count (of a discussion) should be incremented only at my first visit, I think.
Browsing applications/vanilla/settings/class.hooks.php I saw that in the function Gdn_Statistics_Tick_Handler this line is called every time $DiscussionModel->AddView($DiscussionID); without considering session, etc.
Is this a current limit of vanilla or a bug?
Thank you.

I think it has to do with the concept. some people want it one way and some another. It is all semantics. how a view counter is setup
by brower views
by views by an ip
what if two people share the same ip address - should that be counted as two views or one.
To me its a sticky thicket, and you never mentioned the version pf vanilla, maybe they work differently.
I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.
Probably is my fault: I'm using VF 2.1a36 online for a production website (still a few users). But now I see that my local version isn't "affected" by this problem. I'm investigating...

I cloned online files and database to a localhost env, and here all works correctly (?): views counter remain the same after each visit.
Anybody that can explain how discussions views count works (ip, guest, logged users...)?
Thank you.

Considering you are using alpha software, the code is pretty much the only documentation available.
Look at /applications/vanilla/models/class.discussionmodel.php around line 1808. You should see a function called AddView.
