When new members register on my smf site, it keeps telling them to wait for admin approval but i have already changed the setting to email activation. Why is it not working?

Do you employ any 3rd party counter-spam measures?

Please list any modifications you have installed and confirm your version of SMF.

Yes, I make use of anti-spam by clean talk
And my smf version is 2.0.15

It's possible that your anti-spam is inhibiting issue of activation emails for detected spammers, though SMF should still issue an email advising that Admin approval is pending.

That would mean it's working as intended.

Have you tried registering as a new member to see if you are also flagged as a potential spammer?

After uninstalling the anti-spam, the registration is now working as it should but I'm wondering if it's advisable to leave my site without an antispam.
Is there any other way of preventing spammers that won't involve captchas (members don't like that)
