It seems I have received 3 registrants in the last two days that are not legit. Is there a way to prevent this?

Thanks!

Hi @jessiewordpress

Personally, I’ve found the honeypot approach to be quite effective. Try Justin Tadlock’s Registration Honeypot plugin.

@jessiewordpress – might want to check out either “good question” (change default question / answers!) – or ‘buddypress humanity’ as well. They have made a huge impact on the spam registration issues we used to deal with.
