And any human, whether they have registered via vB or TT, would be similarly acted upon by Spaminator immediately upon an attempt at spam submission. So Spaminator apparently doesn't intervene on real humans (somehow it knows... via timing or whatever) at the member sign-up stage, but will in fact block attempted automatic registrations in addition to precluding any ability to submit spam posts. At least that's the way it sounds.

And yes, I've read that for a while now tapatalk has indeed been auto-checking email addys and IPs against the SFS database before granting registration. But if a spammer occasionally happens to acquire an unlogged IP and email address, and if said spammer happens to be a human who initially registers via TT's in-app system (perhaps uncommon but it could happen), that human spammer would obviously escape all of the vB sign-up screening measures. But never fear... Spaminator would still terminate that human's efforts to post any spam messages and presumably block them from any subsequent forum activities. I hope I'm understanding this correctly.

Thanks

Other than, said human would never know it has been blocked or interfered with in any way, yeah.
