Closed Unapproved users can post.

[John917]

Affected version

2.2.15

For some reason, unapproved, invalid users can post. For example, I have a user that is awaiting approval


But user can still post although my unregistered usergroup has posting to threads disabled.
I do have "writing before registering" enabled. Perhaps when users are being promoted to registered, they can for some reason override the function "when a user state other than 'valid', users will receive permissions from unregistered group."

Update:
I have posting disabled from unregistered and the user is put in the registered group when according to my first screenshot, it should be adopting the unregistered permissions.

Automated triage: Not a bug

Thank you for reporting this issue. We couldn't find a way for an account awaiting approval to post: it gets guest permissions, and anything written before registering is held and only posted once the account is approved. As this report is old and nothing recent confirms it, we're closing it; please open a new report with steps if it still happens on the current version.

This is an automated assessment. A member of staff may review and update it.
