How Can I Keep The Spammers Away?
-
I’ve got ‘new user approve’ and ‘wpbruiser’ and between them I keep out all spam.
But the cost is I have to approve or delete all new users and they’re coming at the rate of some 20 per day and every day I have to go through the same ritual.
Is that what all admins of wp sites are doing or am I missing a plug in?
Looks to me like almost impossible to stop it – I mean, how could anyone know they’re not quite legitimate people asking for accounts?
I ‘know’ they’re not simply because (1) there’s no reason for anyone wanting an account on my new unremarkable board and (2) all their usernames come with numbers, like ‘scisco43256’. So I’ve no hesitation in deleting them. But how could any software make that decision?
Hope I’m wrong. And there is a way. A plugin I should have.
?

Hi. Your site — http://www.markushanke.net/ — is not hosted by WordPress.com, so unfortunately you’re in the wrong Forum.
WordPress is a publishing platform that makes it easy for anyone to publish online, and proudly powers millions of websites. It comes in two flavors: the fully hosted WordPress.com, and the self-hosted version, whose software is available for free at WordPress.org.
I’m pretty sure you should be here:

Hi..
I couldn’t find a way to edit my post.
Where that markushanke thing came from I’ve got no idea. None at all.
It doesn’t belong in my post. I know nothing about it.
Sorry. Perhaps a moderator can take that line out?

again…. couldn’t find the edit thing…
but i’ve come back to say yes, I probably belong at the other site because i’m talking about my boards on my host… that’d be the ‘self hosted’ ? And that’d be wordpress.org?
then that means I shouldn’t be here.
So I’ll go away.
sorry for all the confusion…
:)
p.s. I still know nothing about that site…
