How do I turn off the spam checking for posts by my registered and verified users? Far too many legitimate posts are being blocked awaiting moderation and I don't have problems with spammers auto-registering.

So after turning Akismet off, we started getting lots of spam posts, that otherwise would have been moderated. So I have to turn Akismet back on. So I came back here to understand further what you posted, but I don't see how it helps. The problem is Akismet is causing us to have to approve lots of legitimate posts from long term users that we didn't have to deal with back in vb4. Is there some setting where users can be exempt from spam checking if they have, say, 20 or more posts? Or any other setting you can think of where our legitimate users won't get their posts blocked? I need my long term users to not get caught up in Akismet.Comment

Maybe this could help you: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/blog...or-new-members.
I look after some forums with a lot of users. Even in vB5 there is no spam. Which "Human Verification Manager" do you use? We had less spam after activating "reCAPTCHAâ„¢ 2.0"Comment

Then move all your 'known' users into it.
Then set up a promotion that promotes new users from the original registered group, to the new group, once they have a certain number of posts.Last edited by Mark.B; Thu 2 Nov '17, 9:42am.MARK.B

Did something change between vb4 and vb5? I don't recall ever having to approve anybody's post in vb4.
