screenshot 1 is wrong put iserid's not usernames

if you check my above post you will see I already said that

i made all changes that you recommended when you try to post it still does not function.

have you checked user group permissions

permissions are all checked on admin group and we still cannot post

pm me with the site url and a admin login will have a look for you also make me a normal test account as well

can you show me the best setting on this plugin ??

I am getting the "spam-o-matic" showing up in the what's going on box, but there are no stats showing.

All the Statistics: in the admin cp are set to "yes"

Nevermind, no one has been blocked yet......
