Automated Spam

    Hi,

    I am having an attack on my site.
    For some reason I think that there is a bot that creates accounts on my site and posts ads.

    How do I stop it?

    Thanks
    Nadav

    @ossendryver,

    Are the spam from the same domain or different domains? anyways I can give you some code which you can put in your functions.php and they will be blocked from your registration.

    The code can block

    domain extension e.g .pl .ru etc

    or the full email e.g spam@yahoo.com

    and or just domain e.g wesell.com

    If you are interested i can put the code in githhub.

    regards

    If they all were @yahoo.com then won’t all yahoo.com people be banned?

    @ossendryver,

    You cant ban @yahoo.com, because of all other innocent people.

    Like i said before, i have 3 sets of code.

    the code will Ban username@yahoo.com and not the whole yahoo.

    there is no perfect solution for this problem and these “bots” are actually humans a good deal of the time i have had good experience with WangGuard though.

    And now when I try press “Delete account” It doesn’t do anything.

    @mercime thanks for the heads up probably gonna stick with WangGuard for my buddypress client at this point but glad to see there are more options now.
