I have added the “Confirm User Registration” deal for my website. I will see if that helps, and if I want more functionality with this I will come back in here.
I would like to follow up with number two on this list.
It took a whole matter of an hour after I installed my bbpress for a spammer to register. I deleted them immediately, but if I wasn’t at the laptop he could have immediately made a mess of the new forum.
I would like the ability for new registered users to be in a specific moderated role where all posts they make are held in as moderated (private) until approved. And then, when it appears they are legit and not spammers, I can move them to the standard user role. Is there a way or a plug-in to do this? Thank you.
