 I am having a problem with users not being able to join the community. WHAT?!? That's the whole point!!
You can get to the bottom of the page to where you type in the akisimet numbers and then you get red lights. FUCk!!
How do I fix this shit!?>? I'm losing my mind here!! |
Figured it out... The reason was because I had the DNS Blocklists and URI DNS Blocklists setting activated in the AntiSpam Tools page. (Gee, wonder why I did that?)
Come to find out from this forum that the reason users couldn't join was because I had zomqbl.spameatingmonkey.net. enabled. (Silly me.)
I disabled the spameatingmonkey and it works fine now. Kinda sad because I like the name spameatingmonkey. It has a nice ring to it... Oh well...
Why that would cause people not to be able to create accounts at my site makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever but whatever, it's fixed. |
More information on the spameatingmonkey filter here. It has a specific purpose. https://www.deanbassett.com |
OK, after reading that my understanging is that when the spameatingmonkey is active no one from any country can join unless I specifically add that country to the whitelist. Now that it's disactive (back in it's cage) anyone from any country can join.
Is there any other setting that I need to know about that would disallow a user from using my site? The only reason I knew about this one is because I happened to talk to someone who said they tried to join and couldn't. |
