Yes, you're right, I know.



But i'll try to explain better:

Suppose StopForumSpam site is temporarily not working and you have the setting in the Spam-O-Matic options to allow registration if it can not contact SFS database (it is set this way by default)

The spammer gets registered, and you know is a spammer when you look at the spamomatic log (because he has tried to register several times, due to the fact that he is not a human, but a BOT).

Well, the "user" has not posted ANYTHING yet, so, you can not go to the thread and use the "Delete as spam" spamomatic option, because there is no any thread yet.

What you do in this situation?

I hope it's clearer now.
