I am not sure if it is an issue, however I found in the userconfiguration a manual approval for the username MagicOpromotion. This was actually quite weird since I have email validation without admin approval set.

A quick google on the name gives thousands of profiles on different fora.

I doubt that this is a very common name and I doubt weather someone is that active. If this is a bot, it would concern me how far it got.

Anyway, if I am telling old news, or nothing special, then I am sorry for the post.

Sorry what do you mean by "manual approval"?

Within the user admin of the ravennuke distro (2.30.01) under users you'll get a tab saying something like admin aproval or manual aproval. I'd take that is the place for the admin to approve user registrations.

I think I understand what you are saying. They may be listed there because they haven't actually activated their account yet by using the email activation link. You therefore have the option to manually approve them.

This is also what I would guess.

This MagicOpromotion user is a spam bot. So they were probably expecting phpNuke and got RavenNuke instead Smile
