"Spam-O-Matic Tagged username - Sarah - Spammer Found and rejected."
I have checked the stopforumspam database and there are loads of entry's for the name Sarah.
I know I can turn off the username check but I think it's a good idea. Am I doing something wrong? Surly a user with the name Sarah should be able to register?
We are on the latest 4.1.6 VB
Thanks for any assistance :up:

This mod has no control over whats in the SFS database, if the username is in it's DB I believe you can petition to have it removed.
Really though, as many users suggest in the last few pages of posts, you should turn off username recognition, as email addresses and other options can prevent the spammers just as well.
