Hey Barry,

This has been my experience with this Mod -

The "accepted" listings in the stopforumspam logs could be either that the user did not respond to the email you sent during the registration process (if you sent one), or that the user got past the SFS Mod, but got stopped by your settings in VBulletin. The .logs show all who try to register whether they were able to or not.

The "Rejections" due to result on field username means that the Mod is doing its thing, and catching the spammers, then preventing them from registering on your forum.

What happens is, recorded spammers are reported to StopForumSpam by their username, IP address, and email address (these are the field results), so when the Mod goes to the SFS site, the site relays varification back to yours.

So basically, the logs are letting you know who is caught, and who was allowed to register.

Hope this helps ...

Mary

P.S. This Mod is a really great one. Let it do its job, and you will be pleasently surprised at how many spammers it stops dead cold!
