Hi ignus,

We're planning to release the fixed version in a few days.

Hi,

 

I installed the 1.5.5 update, and now moderation does not work at all. A new user just registered, posted a new topic and it just went straight through, no moderation whatsoever.

Hi ignus,

Please navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Tools admin page. Make sure:

1. wpForo Spam Control is enabled.

2. user is New (under hard spam control) during first X posts option's value is not 0. 

3. also, I'd recommend increasing spam suspicion levels:

  • Spam Suspicion Level for Topics
  • Spam Suspicion Level for Posts
