Spam on activity in buddypress

    Is there a plugin I can use to ban email domains that are usually spammer domains from registering on my site? I really would like the ability to specify what emails are allowed to register for example: google and yahoo domains allowed and aol and usa are banned. I am getting spam on my buddypress activity every day. WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.5.1. I appreciate it and thank ya, thank ya very much!

    @jesse_james It would be great if this option to ban certain domains was built into the core. Maybe make a ticket on trac. Not sure they will approve it but it never hurts to request it because spam seems to be a constant issue with BP and having the ability to ban a entire domain that is famous for enabling spammers from registering would help save a lot of long term grief.

    Hi,
    WP is promoting his own software Akismet against spam, so i’m affraid that it’s not tomorrow they will develop another antispam system.
    i’m using wp-ban and some htaccess rules (very efficient IMO)

    `# BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .register*
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*your_site.* [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
    RewriteRule (.*) http://die-spammers.com/ [R=301,L] (->URL to redirect spammers to)
    SetEnvIfNoCase Referer mrtoday.net spammer=yes (-> identified spam site)
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
    deny from env=spammer (-> some IP’s to ban )
    deny from 78.47.125.158
    deny from 203.186.54.21
    deny from 174.139.12.106
    deny from 70.32.38.85
    # Blocking access from libwww-perl, and blocking urls that include “=http:” to eliminate bot attacks
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} libwww [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ – [F,L]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} www-mechanize [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ – [F,L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(wp-login.php|/wp-admin/) [NC]
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)=http [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ – [F,L]
    # END ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION`

    Take care by copy/pasting above code. Notices between (-> bla….) must be retrieved !
    IP’s and sites to be blocked can be found in your server log files.
    You can also consult some antispam sites giving the latest spam marked sites like http://urlvoid.com/
