OK so no one seems to want to satisfactorily answer the two questions in my previous post. Let's try another.

This is part of a post I made at vBulletin.com (full post HERE) So far no response to that one either.

I currently have an instances where one new member (spammer from China) has been able to register his username twice within 1 minute. He then proceeded to do 3 spam posts and then went on to changed his email address in second registration.

First registration was deleted as spam and reported to Stop Forum Spam after he had posted.

The second registration was then banned by moderator.... However it did not show as banned in his profile, but did in Banned Users list, whilst the first registration does not show up in the Banned Users list at all.

Today this person appears to have registered again. Different username, same IP address different email address.

Still shouldn't have got through Spam-O-Matic his ip is 220.179.121.198 and can be found in a search at SFS. There must be a glitch somewhere to allow this to happen.

We do have Name Check disabled in Spam-O-Matic for obvious reasons, as we had in VBStopForumSpam prior. Still I would think it shouldn't let a banned IP through though.
