as i said above if settings are not set up right then bots will register

Since I installed this i get in "Who's Online"....

Guest - yogurt.glowhost.com viewing Admin Control Panel

add that bot in your robots.txt if you want to not allow it to that location

Does it follow robots.txt ?

I have added "glowhost" to Bad behavior blacklist, so its really blocked from accessing my site. What on earth is this bot for?

never had the bot before so not sure

This addon is awesome. Solved all my spam account problems. Thank you!

I've had a problem where one user, who has way more than the required amount to be exempt from registration, and is in two usergroups that are exempt, STILL keeps ending up in the moderation queue when he posts. I came here to report it or get some help, but the first comments on this page disappoint me as it sounds like the author isn't here anymore. In the two months that I've had this installed, it's stopped all my spam problems though. Kinda mixed feelings on this one.

the easy way around this is to create a new usergroup and set all to no
i have trapped many who attempted to bypass it and can't coz their not put into default group and placed into a custom usergroup with no permissions

also ensure you have put your API keys in and review the logs dailt to submit their details to stopforumspam

I think maybe I made my post confusingly... one of my users is being moderated when he shouldn't be, and it's really annoying to have to keep approving his posts when looking at my settings he should be exempt 3 ways already.

Does this take care of spam already posted? Or only as it comes in? And the same question for banning spammers.

Thanks
