davehardy Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I deleted him usually @gmail.com users.I use this site http://www.stopforumspam.com/ to check if they are spambots or real people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nabeel Posted November 29, 2008 Administrators Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Hmm your pilot list is empty. I guess you deleted them? I'll try to integrate recaptcha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Nabeel Posted December 2, 2008 Administrators Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Well you can just reject their registration and then delete it.I'll see if I can conjure up some anti-spam stuff easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehardy Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 maybe a email or IP banning system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nabeel Posted December 2, 2008 Administrators Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 IP banning could be a possibility. Email ban was there in 1.0 - it wouldn't delete the pilot, it would mark it as rejected, so the email couldn't be reused. That changed in 1.1. I'm thinking maybe a captcha or some sort of manual validation.But you can do an IP ban using an htaccess. I think that would be the easiest way - http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/userban/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehardy Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 seem to be getting more and more spambots registering even with the recaptcha running has anybody added more security? I know you can buy recaptcha codes by the thousand from Indian wesites that specialize in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
