Blocking registrations by email

  1. The first two user registrations I've had on my new forum are both using @mail.ru email addresses. Experience with other forums tells me these are probably spam registrations. On the SMF forums I admin I block @mail.ru email addresses from being able to register at all. Is there a way to do this in bbPress? Maybe have them default to Inactive or Blocked depending on the email address used?

  2. This is the plugin to do exactly what you want:

    You might also want to add my "Human Text" plugin to help stop bot (automated) registrations:

  3. Perfect. Thank you.

    Just to make sure I've got it setup right. I've checked the Enable checkbox on top and added *mail.ru in the blacklist box. Whitelist box is empty. Sound correct?

  4. You should make that:

    *.mail.ru

  5. By adding the period wouldn't that only block stuff from @123.mail.ru, @whateverelse.mail.ru, etc. and not @mail.ru? It's the @mail.ru that seems to be the problem and not subdomains of mail.ru.

  6. Ah, in that case all you need to put there is mail.ru without the asterisk or leading dot.
