You know what I am talking about and why right? We have WordPress setup to only allow comments and posts by registered users. But then one of those users turns rogue. The user starts posting crap after crap and you want it to stop. You could just delete their account, and then they will reregister and continue. How can we get this to stop? Don’t delete them, but instead block him/her? Ban him/her? Block/ban by what? Email, IP, username? What is the best way to do this in WordPress? A plugin? I’ve tried a few but they don’t seem to do anything. Anyone have any recommendations?

have you found a solution?

Nah, I dropped bbPress and went with phpBB instead.

Akismet was not helpful?

A very good programmer should write plugin that sees many things about the user client. I don’t mean the IP address but much more. And still I don’t see there any plugin able to do it.

[@tulisan Participant 13 years ago]

Agreed.

I just found https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ban-hammer/.

I wonder if this plugin will do the trick. Anyone here tried it out before?
