Just suddenly (after Discourse update?), I’m seeing a lot of my users are being flagged and I need to manually ‘Approve’.

However, on the page I can’t see how to approve them - there’s a button to ‘Delete User’ only.

Any advise please?

p.s. Has all the content from these users in ‘Review’ been put on hold until I approve?

Such users have a high likelihood of being spammers, as most users browse the site before taking time to fill out their bio. Enable the approve suspect users setting to try it out! However…
