Our Discourse is set to approve post count = 1 [Screenshot 2025-09-12 at 08.46.17] We use this to protect against spam as the first post from every new user requires moderator approval. When a spam post is made and caught with this setting, we reject the post and delete the user with a single cl…

The issue there being someone on a mission now knows they’ve been deleted so they sign up and try again :facepalm: Here’s the email the deleted spammer gets sent: [Screenshot 2025-09-12 at 08.54.31] Related: Ruby hash syntax being displayed in emails sent to deleted users
