Re: Fighting Splogs
i don’t know if robots go directly into db, or use the wp code…
but one thing you can try is to hack a little the register_new_user function in wp-login.php
to ban some email domains like “XXXX@myspacee.info” witch massevely occurs in the past last weeks….
function begins at line 228 (v. 2.8.4a)
add this on line 233
$email_check = explode(“@”, $user_email);
insert also this at line 248
} elseif($email_check[1] == ‘myspacee.info’) {
$errors->add(‘invalid_email’, __(‘ERROR: The email address isn’t correct.’));
insert the same code and change the mail domain name if you need to ban more domains
In use with invisible-defender, wp-ban and wp-spamfree i think you would be quiet for a moment with unwanted registering of blogs or users.
