Guess that's a user criteria based on a custom user field? I assume you created a text field box as custom user field?
What does one type in there usually? But even then, I believe all users will type in different things. But the criteria looks for exact matches, it won't work.
I think you should get this addon if you want to keep that text box and have a criteria working for your case: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/th-user-criteria-extended.144617
I think the "provides a value" option should work for you.
PS: This addon and/or other addons all use basic XF criteria. So, if you can't do something with XF out of the box, you can't do it with an addon. Because usually addons don't implement their own criterias, they just use what is build in. But some do have their own criterias additionally, but they are specific to those addons like "has x calendar items" or "has x showcase items". So, won't help in most cases if you want to have advanced criteria. Unless you use that TH addon, which is phenomenal but has some bugs I believe and is not supported. That extends the criteria system very nicely and it works with every addon cause it hooks the core XF criteria.
