  • Hi @peregrine,

    I sent a comment through yesterday but I guess it didn't get approved?

    Anyway, the forum has been on Registration: Approval since I set up the forum so I'm not sure how these guys are getting on the user list because I didn't approve them.

    start a new discussion - since your problem is different than the title of the thread. Its also unclear where the spam is appearing, and why new applicants don't get the role applicant.

    Also post a link to your site, what user roles do you have. check the permissions for those roles.

    with botstop and applicant approval, the confirm email seems like overkill.
    botstop and applicant approval should be sufficient, one would hope.
