We have just installed stopforumspam on our forum and now have an issue where a person whom we know is fine to register has been denied as her info matches that of a known spammer.
Where do we go to allow her to register? Or where we can set her settings to show that she isn't a spammer?
Any help to resolve this type of problem would be great as we will probably run into it in the future.
Thanks,
That did it! Thanks sarisisop! I appreciate the help. If I run into any others who are denied, I will have them visit that removal link.
Thanks again!
I wanted to give a headsup. Stop Forum Spam is apparently having difficulties :/ and i dont advice enabling the feature that if it cant connect to the database that you prevent people from registering.
I removed the plugin a while ago because of these issues, but I still use the website itself to search. If I have to.

I would really like to use anything else.. but using spamanalyser i know i will run into problems then. Since a lot of people post images/links and lots of the same links etc in their first post. Meaning it would be seen as spam i think. Which it isnt, guess there simply isnt a one way solution to spam issues.
Could be completely wrong in this assumption (but just going off the description).
I guess my "dream" tool would be a spamanalyser like plugin that places all the post it grabs underneath "needs to be approved by a moderator/admin" and adds a button their to to see this user as a Spam/bot thing. If that was inplace yes you would have extra work to do. But atleast it wouldnt have wrong detections anymore.
