XF 2.2 Prevent registrations of 'Stopforumspam' IPs?

[Hall of Famer]

Hello there. Recently I've had a few alerts on my forum about users that need approval, which I find that their IPs are on the list of 'stopforumspam'. I have to manually reject their registration, and ban their user account. Is there an easier way to do this? Or even better, just block them from registration at all? I aint sure why they are even allowed to register, if their IPs match 'stopforumspam'? Is there something I can do in ACP to just block their registration in the first place? I dont even want them to waste a user ID from my database.

I see, so change this value from 3 to 1, it will reject registration for any IPs that exist in stopforumspam database? Thanks, I've just done that and hopefully the spambots wont even sign up anymore.

It will reject all registrations with a single flag - IP address, email address, or user name.
