How to eliminate Wordpress User Spam

November 7th, 2007 · No Comments

WP Plugin to prevent bot registrations, the professors tool is good and I still recommend it, I just wrote one I think is a bit better.

Ban email domains from user registration plugin

Writing a plugin to ban email domains from user registration was getting close to the top of my todo list but someone has already done it. ( Cool for me, one less thing on the todo list. ) I had been deleting all users who registered but didn’t comment every morning over coffee.

I have to say I’m baffled. I’m not sure what spammers gain by registering as a user on your blog but not posting any comments? My guess is the comments are coming later. Or there is some new trick we haven’t yet figured out about to appear.
