spam management flags - allow which warning flags to detect

I'm using the stopforumspam database but it only allows you to choose how many warning flags before moderating or rejecting.

Can we choose which warning flag(s) to detect before moderating or rejecting? 1 flag isn't a good option because username can very easily return false positives but email is a very good indicator of spam. For example, username "bob" would get flagged for a spammer who used username "bob13sf23".

By selecting which warning flags to detect, it would cut down on false positives because I could ignore the username flag but use the email flag.

Four years have passed and no response from the XenForo developers. Flagging by username is not a "feature." It's a bug and should be removed.
 
Sorry for bringing this old thread up again, but i don't found a solution.

StopForumSpam works well for us with ip and email checks but the username generates false warning flags. So a checkbox to turn off username checking would be appreciated.
