I've been messing around with my settings to stop Newly Registered users from posting without approval. This is to try and stop users that appear to register manually and posting a bunch of spammy posts full of links.
These are the setting I have, but I must be missing something:
User Registration: New member post limit: 2
Permissions > Group Forum Permissions > Newly Registered Users > Forum > Misc > Can post without approval = Never
What I find is that a new user registers and posts a bunch of spammy posts, and they are in the "Registered User Group", and there are no posts waiting for approval. So somehow they posted as a New Registered user, and want straight to Registered User without any post being approved.
I've probably missed something really simply, so hopefully someone can help and tell me what to check?
