I tried a proxy server, and was still able to get to the signup page by typing in the url, which leads me to believe the htaccess change isn’t taking right. Is there anything that could be interfering? I had another anti-spam idea: Would there be a way to require a user to […]

If I type http://mybuddypressite.com/wp-signup into my browser, I should get automatically redirected to my GOAWAY page, right? If that’s not happening, am I doing something wrong?

I’ve been using IP banning now for two days, and that has virtually eliminated most spam signups. Much as I hate to go that route, it’s great to have something that finally works. Will make the htaccess and wp-config changes today, too. Thanks again.

Going to try all of these. Few quick q’s: 1. With the list of bad blocks, you added all these to your HT access file? Is there any downside to having such a lengthy htaccess? Could you anonymize yours and post it? 2. What does “Added “deny from all” in .htaccess for wp-config.php” […]

At the risk of inviting more spam, here’s my signup page: http://injersey.com/join-injersey I’ve got si-captcha, Humanity, alternate slug, htaccess tweak, and 2 required profile fields. At this point it’s just getting kind of absurd. There must be some kind of backdoor that’s […]

Still getting slammed with spam signups and posts. Switching to the si-captcha plugin (though I suspect that won’t do anything since the spammers are bypassing the reg form). Any other ideas?

Likewise, I’ve done the htaccess trick, register slug, and so on. Haven’t blocked CURL requests (how do you do that?). I never configured bbpress for our site. Even if I haven’t done that, is it possible that register.php file is still lurking […]

I’ve got a tricky Humanity plugin question on there, as well as several required fields. But when I look at the accounts the spammers are creating, they have none of those fields filled out. Is there some kind […]

Unlike the Facebook button, which goes out and fetches the page title from the shared url, the Twitter button needs you […]
