Discourse recommend me to that if a new user has entered profile information without reading any topics or posts. This strongly suggests that they may be a spammer.

But to me it’s quite normal if user want to use Discourse as a SNS but not forum. Actually many of my users action like set profile \> reading \> posting

Here is my questions:

1. Can I disable that rule?
2. Will this function ban user automatically?

You can disable the `approve suspect users` site setting
