@robert It looks like we may have solved it by editing the default usergroup and changing the "Dashboard - Can edit member" to Unchecked.
Does this mean that users can't edit their own profiles?
Dashboard - Can edit member must be unchecked for Registered/Subscriber users. As it is Dashboard functionality.
Hmm... Why have you enabled this for regular users?
The "Dashboard - Can edit member" allows editing all users account information in dashboard. This is an admin and moderator permission, we've added "dashboard" prefix saying this should not be allowed for users who don't have dashboard access.
If your new registered users cannot edit their account, you should set "0" the "Min number of posts to be able to edit profile information" option value in wpForo > Settings > Spam Protection admin page
Thank you for the clarification. We weren't sure if that was something that they needed to edit their own profile. I'm not sure why it affected the moderation though.
