this is what i find in spam matic log:

Venusian Arts PUA Spam-O-Matic Tagged ip - 98.64.196.143 - Spammer Found but allowed

It says it has identified the spammer, but has allowed the spammer.

That is because you have:
StopForumSpam: Desired Action
Set to: Log and continue with registration.

on another signup attempt, I get this one:

No Username Submitted Spam-O-Matic Tagged email - (email) Spammer Found but allowed.


Whats going on?

What is going on is that Spam-O-Matic detected bots and sent the to the vBulletin registration system. If you do not see them as registered users, the bots either failed on the vBulletin registration form, or did not click the email validation, etc.

Meaning they passed the Spam-O-Matic firewall and then where they went from there is anyone's guess.
