> It sounds like you are calling the “delete as spammer” function, which will automatically blocklist the IP and email address. I think you should revisit that code. You want “plain delete” per the UI, not “delete as spammer”.

That could be, although I think not? I’m using the only [delete a user](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Users/paths/~1admin~1users~1%7Bid%7D.json/delete) endpoint I found:

`DELETE /admin/users/{id}.json`

which does have a `block_ip` parameter defaulting to true and that I always set to false. IPs are being added to Screened IPs nonetheless.
