XF 1.5 Auto Rejecting New Registrations with IP & Email matching on StopForumSpam

I want to reject new user registrations that have a matching email & IP address, but I've noticed that I will have users to moderate users that are
on StopForumSpam with matched I.P. & Email address. I have it set to reject registrations when there are 2 warnings, so why am I having to manually delete them from moderation?

Attached are my settings is something wrong? I have a stopforumspam API key and Project Honey Pot key entered, but it is hidden for the screenshot below.
Thanks in advance for the help!

What number do you have in here?

I'd think that putting 2 there should reject them and not put them in moderation queue. Anything less than 3 (as in my example) would place them in the queue.
The issue is that frequently the name may be listed and it still be a valid user name - think of the name mike, tom, ****, harry, etc. All of them could be valid usernames but listed in one of the lists and would count as a point against. In that case you are then dependent upon just IP or email being listed before rejection.

On 1.5 I like using TPU: Detect Spam Registrations. Seems to do a decent job and a little more fine grained control.
