BuddyPress.org

Just for anyone’s edification I realized I can block IPs from accessing the site at the server level. My server uses cpanel and there’s a function called IP Deny Manager. Since the plugin “User Activation Keys” lists the IPs of everyone attempting* to join I can easily see the most offending IP addresses – and so far I have blocked 6 – the amount of spambot signups is waaaay down. Yes. The risk is that there are REAL people who are on this server who would probably like to use my site but are now blocked from even seeing it.

* I am also using the plugin “Registration Options”
