Admin validation required but not set

Hello,

For new member registrations, our settings require that a full registration form be filled and validation then occurs by email. I have never enabled Admin validation.

Could contain: Page, Text, File

 

Why then do I get an admin notification claiming a potential member needs admin validation? This is, btw, the second time this happens.

Could contain: Text, Page

 

thanks, and a pleasant day to all.

Hi Nathan Explosion. I don't understand that. If the person has not yet completed registration, he cannot post. So there's nothing to base a spam suspicion on... or would a failed captcha trigger that?

For the sake of completion, I looked up the spam prevention settings. Two fields were indeed set to "manual review"

1.     Could contain: Page, Text

2. Could contain: Page, Text

So Nathan Explosion was right. Thank you.

thanks. I had already read that, but still didn't connect the dots between the message "member awaiting admin validation" and spam defense. I would have expected a message more like  "member requiring admin validation after triggering spam defense".

Still, after trying out stuff I learned that it's possible to find this info anyway. Here are the steps I used:

1. click on the members IP

Could contain: Page, Text, Number, Symbol

2. in this case select the spam defense log entry (arrow above).

3. Find the spam response level at left (and compare with spam defense settings as in my post above)
