It's because most attempted registrations are spammers. I've tested this by manually registering using different IP's, different email hosts etc. and it's allowed all registrations. Every registration it has blocked for me, are listed as spammers in the No Forum Spam database.



Working fine here.

Is it possible that a button can be added at their profile to easily remove a user bot and delete all their stuff with 1 push (or 2) of a button?

Just a heads up to everyone StopForumSpam is down, so spammers will get through today.

@Steeler7 Has the issue only happened today or is this a reoccurring issue? If it has only happened today, it may be related to the StopForumSpam outage, if it is happening everyday PM me your email address and I'll try register with it on my forum, once StopForumSpam is back up.

No worries :D It's definitely caused by the StopForumSpam outage. Once they are back up, the mod should work perfectly. Keep checking http://www.stopforumspam.com to see if they are back up.

#1. I have it set via VB settings that all new users need to be approved by an admin, I have triple checked this setting and for some reason when people register and pass the SoM registration check they are getting auto approved without an admin even approving there application. Not a huge deal but I like to double check and make sure it doesn't look like a sleeper account before they get through. I'm the only admin on the site so I know it's not another admin approving them.

How can we set it so that SoM lets them register but the admin or mod still needs to approve the registration before they go live?

#2. It's great that this system catches so many spammers but having to go and manually add each rejected application to SFS's database it very taxing, especially when we are talking about amount of info I am talking about. Are there any plans to add check boxes or a 1 click option to submit all blocked/stopped spam account into to SFS's database in the future? It would be really great because having to sit down and submit 1 by 1 each spam account's into takes forever when you are dealing with hundreds of stopped spam account info each week, I think my CTRL-V key is breaking from so much copy and pasting lol.

I'm using 4.1.4 and it installed perfectly fine, only problem is it now doesn't allow anyone to register regardless of settings. I've uninstalled it and hope there will be an update.
