Actually while reviewing permissions after my first import attempt last week I found inconsistencies with permissions on some of the user groups that should have been restricted. I thought it was just an oversight on my part from the vb software , but this sounds like the same thing.
I grew mind numb correcting and going through all the user groups we have needed over the last 10 years but Banned (changed to In the pokey) was able to do many things according to the permissions in that group.

XenForo does not use a usergroup to manage banned users, it uses a flag in the database. As banned users cannot access the forum (it's checked before permissions are, IIRC), their usergroup doesn't actually make any difference to their access.

Create a new usergroup called: Banned
And then within that set all permissions to 'No' (or edit to your requirements)
You can set 'User banner text' to something like 'Account Locked' and select a banner style.
Then within: Setup > Options >User discouragement and discipline....
set 'Add user group on ban' to Banned (or the name you gave your banned usergroup.
Once a member is banned they will be automatically added to the 'Banned' usergroup where all permissions are set to 'No' (or what you have selected), and under their avatar will be a banner that reads 'Account Locked'

Curious if you ever resolved this?
We seem to be having a similar issue.
Here I see the user registration was rejected:
| Username | Action | Date | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maria27388 | Rejected | Today at 1:55 AM |
|
and yet this user was still able to create a spam thread
and worse new users should be subject to having their 1st two posts and threads moderated...
So at this point I'm not sure if its tapatalk by passing, add on conflicts or who knows...

Why on earth would anyone be using Tapatalk with Xenforo?
Security issues with Tapatalk have been known for years and the only reason most people continued to use it was because older versions of vBulletin weren't responsive.
Uninstall Tapatalk. Problem solved.

I wish it were that simple and while I whole heartedly agree. Unfortunately that would put all of our ios users at a disadvantage in our marketplace. While android users get web push notifications when new threads are created (new items for sale), ios users do not other than via tapatalk interface.

They get it when they enable them.
When they "Watch" a forum they may enable email notification and get the email no matter they use Android or iOS.

Not the same as a push notification. I get it. Yes I agree tapatalk bad.
Personally I hate it because they inject their own advertising and don't display the advertising our sponsors pay for. However the BST Marketplace on our board is very competitive and I'm not going to handicap a portion of the population because apple is stupid.
I'm really looking for feedback here. Is this person getting past our registration defenses because they are using tapatalk to register?
Another option might be turning off web push? That way I can turn off tapatalk as well and have a level playing field for every member. Just kind of sucks.
