    One of my BuddyPress websites keeps getting spam accounts signing up with @mailnesia.com email addresses.

    I am using SI Captcha plugin with it set to the hardest difficulty to limit spam signups but they are still managing to sign up.

    Does anyone else have this problem? Is there anything we can do to restrict them?

    Hi
    For some reason users cannot post drug names e.g. Plavix on my medical forum
    I even deactivated Akismet and all anti-spam tools and it is still the same. Under WordPress Settings/Comments the comment blacklist is blank.
    I would appreciate any clues to how further trouble shoot this vexing problem, especially as it is a medical forum
    On Buddypress 1.65 and WP 3.5.1

    Thanks!

    The reason for that is so many installs are not customized enough and that makes it easy for bots.

    No system is safe from spam.

    Thanks a lot. Looks like I’ve found a pretty spam-targeted platform.

    In the last day I’ve released a new theme. Which is nice :D. But suddenly I have DROVES of users coming in, seemingly in spurts. I think these are spam signups. They seem like average joe names, not the variety you’d expect.

    Maybe you guys know exactly what I’m talking about? This is my first time using buddypress although I’m quite good with wordpress.

    Is buddypress a huge spam target? Is this normal for a bpress launch? What are you guys doing for this sort of thing?

    It does user registrations, site registrations and logged out user comments.

    I don’t actually use BuddyPress, so don’t have any way to test it in a live situation myself. It is dealing with my blog comment spam flawlessly though.

    Looks cool. What types of integration does it have? Spam user signups?

    Hi everyone,
    I launched a new experimental version of my Spam Destroyer plugin today. Previously I had added crude support for BuddyPress and bbPress, but had not properly tested it.

    This time around I’ve tried to beef it up quite a bit and make sure it works as well as possible to block those pesky spam registrations.

    I do however need some testers to give it a bash and see how well it works. I can test this thing in private all I like, but in the absense of real world testing I’m somewhat guessing as to it’s effectiveness.

    http://geek.ryanhellyer.net/products/spam-destroyer/

    Thanks for any input you can give. I am super keen to hear of the results.

    Need more protection?
    If you would like absolute maximum spam stopping abilities, there is also a very untested CAPTCHA based system rolled into it. You can test this by editing the definition for SPAM_DESTROYER_PROTECTION and changing it from “low” to “high” in the plugins index.php file. Eventually I intend to make this automatically increase the spam protection as your site is hit with more spammers, but I haven’t got that functionality implemented just yet

    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.

    @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.

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

    @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

    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

    Maybe this one is too small or already covered by #1 but stealth for Super Admins.

    Maybe this one is too big, spam user registration countermeasures.

    There is no perfect solution other then to disable registration entirely but i have had a good experience with WangGuard. FYI a good chunk of these “bots” are actually humans (at least at some point) believe it or not.

    Hi…

    I’ve created a site that utilizes Gravity Forms User Registration as the single way to register.  We are still receiving spam user registrations.  The reason I realize they are spam is because they are coming to the previous admin-associated email account, which we have since updated to another address.  I just can not figure out where or how these spam bots are registering.  I also deactivated all all unused pages.  Within Gravity Forms we are using Captcha so no spam is coming in there, just with the WordPress registration.  Can anyone help figure out where this could be coming from and how to disable this?
