Can anyone confirm this extension works on his 1.2 forum? Try registering with a random email @vusra.com. The entire domain is blocked but the extension doesn’t detect it. If it worked it would stop the registration but instead it goes to awaiting for email confirmation which is wrong.
Braden thanks, are you on 1.2?
luceos What's an SPS key, is this the API key for StopForumSpam? Because I generated one a few days ago, so it shouldn't have expired. But even then my understanding is it's used only when reporting spam, not when checking for spam.
Here are my settings:
Braden, are you sure you're on Flarum 1.2? Because after I installed 1.2 a nickname field appeared on the registration form and I don't see one on your screenshot. Here's how mine looks:
When I click on Sign Up, it goes OK and a temporary user is created, I also receive the email for confirmation on the vusra.com service and can confirm the email and then we have a normally registered user 
luceos there are no logs.

Debug mode: offI reinstalled the extension, cleaned the cache multiple times... still the same. As a side note, I disabled it, purged it, then removed it with composer remove but after installing it again I could see all my settings preserved, e.g. the API key. It was my understanding that purge would remove all DB settings for an extension or is that not the case?
Removing the extension via composer to some extension still leaves leftovers, its a known issue but it shouldn't be a reason for it not working. Infact it's a good sign you have the api key in your setting's
"Uninstall" (migrate down) feature in Flarum only removes data that the extension added through database migrations, so it often doesn't include the settings which are stored in a Flarum database table.
For it to clear settings, the extension developers need to add a migration that inserts an initial value for settings, and clears them in the down function. Very few extensions actually do it, so in practice settings aren't impacted by that feature.
There's also no way for Flarum to automatically reset the settings because there isn't a standard naming or registration system for settings at the moment so Flarum has no way to know which setting value belongs to which extension.
I see, thanks.
Now, I really prefer having this extension working. What strategies can I test? Disabling extensions one by one while reproducing the faulty scenario to see whether another extension might be affecting it? Any way to debug the extension? I'm a Java developer but PHP doesn't mean a lot to me 
I can see the source code of the extension in the vendor folder. If I make some changes there, will they apply? Like putting some log statements?
Braden nope, doesn't help. I tried everything, I set a threshold of 1, I enabled all possible combinations of enabled checks, all possible geographical regions...
Something is broken but I'm exhausted and just giving up since I don't know how to debug further This extension simply doesn't work on my forum and I will deinstall it. Had high hopes...
Amarok When testing for incompatibility with extensions is it enough to just disable them temporarily, or do I have to also purge and remove them through composer?
Amarok I've pasted above a list of my current extensions. Can you check and tell me which ones you don't have? I guess this will save me some time in finding ones that may cause incompatibilities and I will be thankful if you can do this favor to me 
CyberGene Ouch, have a several... but could try to put here the full list :

Amarok This is easy, the only extensions I have that you don't have are these:
sycho-move-posts
fof-byobu
extiverse-mercury
askvortsov-markdown-tablesI will now disable them one by one until StopForumSpam starts working.
Disabled all those, still the same...
