      Whats a good threshold number to start with if I have all three options checked?

      I also see no place for an api key to get popped in....

        Kyrne So what happens if they hit 2 points or go over? Do I get notified or are they just flat out denied?

        Would you recommend I use in conjunction with friends of flarum spamblock?

            MikeJones if their IP+email+username hits are equal to or greater than 2 they will get denied automatically, no notification for you.

            It's a great plugin to use, it makes getting rid of spammers super easy (1 button) and if you add it an API key to sfs (with splam block enabled) it will report them and thus helping the greater forum community.

                This extension is not uninstalling either through Bazaar or through the Extensions tab. It is not happening like this for any other extension. I can post the error log but I think anyone can check it at their end. It was blocking many real people for signng up so I want to uninstall it. I am able to disable it though.
