Fixed. Seems default creation of user groups at some point did not have the Bypass Spam Check option specifically set to "no" - so in theory, should work now.

I'm currently having this problem and spammers are somehow getting through. One instance is them using temu.to as a domain. Still, I've added "temu' into the spam phrases and they are still getting through. I'm looking into how and why this is the case.

Yep, these are great. The only issue is no ease to see them all in one place and I have to go hunting to both places. Not the worst thing to do but it's just frustrating not to be able to just do a search to see the deleted threads from a certain date. Would seem like it would be there easily...

I'm constantly trying to improve spam management and it's easiest being able to see (1) how successfully my moderators have been performing and whether they have been tagging valid new posts; and (2) seeing keywords that would be useful to enter to prevent these posts from making it into the...

Our hosting company apparently created an issue on several other users' servers too where all registered users will be associated with the server IP address. This has been the case for several weeks, creating our server IP address as a multiple IP address entered and used by spam checkers to...

See here: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/registration-emails-not-sending-test-works.235286/#post-1770636 We had a problem with all users being registered with the same IP address of the server. After that was solved and even using a clean installation, the minimum age toggle box would...

This thread was invaluable. I use InmotionHosting but do not use Cpanel. Since November all users on various software have been registered using the server's IP address. It was odd that the mods told me they were approving many more users and I thought it was due to the CWP issue in October...

Wow.... this was insane. This is the issue. For me, here is the solution - and IP addresses will be registered properly AND the confirm registration link will work. Prior to November, IP addresses were being registered properly. Since November I've had huge problems and couldn't figure out what...

I also use inmotionhosting. I moved away from cpanel to CWP. I've noticed a serious issue with new users in the recent past. This is a serious problem. IM support is saying they can't install it on their CWP systems and they recommend a private developer. This is quite ridiculous and I'm going...

Fascinating - after a few hours with @AndyB we deduced that all the IP addresses being registered are exactly the same. https://xenforo.com/community/threads/recent-issue-all-new-registrants-are-showing-same-ip-address.231742/ I'm now looking into this issue.

I may need to do so. My desire was not to fix what wasn't broken with the dozen or so add-ons I use. Unfortunately, it appears this may be the only solution and hoping for the best. Right now the issue seems to come down to the changes not being written to the database for both "Enable email...

Moving along I'm seeing something that may involve corruption or some other tomfoolery. If I disable the age check entirely (no age and no date of birth) I STILL get a requirement to put in an age. If I change the age, I STILL get the old age that it was set at (13) and not the new age entered...

So registration with email confirmation still doesn't work properly - but this is part 1 of the problem: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/enable-email-confirmation-option-ignored.217467/ Any time a user uses an IP address that has been banned, the user will require manual confirmation...

I just did another test of having a test user reply to one of my forum posts. I get a notification that a post was made in email. This is specifically an registration quirk that is sticking me to (1) manual administrator approval; and (2) not sending users confirmation emails, with the message...

PHP built in mail system is checked. It works for the test and has been sending me periodic emails about my own posts. It's just registration that it is not sending a user a confirmation link and that message about manual approval by an administrator is showing, no welcome email sent.
