This isn't about spam. When a new user creates an account, even if they set a nickname, their "Display name publicly as" is an empty string that the need to change. This isn't possible through the forum, only from inside wordpress, but for security reasons, and because the forum profile looks better, the admin is disabled for users. Is this a bug of wpforo registration? Shouldn't "Display name publicly as" be pre-filled with nickname or username?

I think that new member just a spammer. It's being created with some bot with incorrect data.
