Topic: banning

We are getting a hell of a lot of spam registrations, despite the anti-spam plugins. Many of them are from email addresses such as someone@hotaka3310.itsuki54.forcemix.online the sub and sub-subdomains change but also the main domains. Banning the main domain (forcemix.online), does not work and the combination of subdomains and their IPs vary widely. I tried *.forcemix.online but it, perhaps understandably, returns an error:

The email address (e.g. user@example.com) or partial email address domain (e.g. example.com) you entered is invalid.


Does anyone know how I can block registrations from such spammers?

I look at the registration and login forms. I don't see Fancy stop spam.

Yes, The screenshot is from forum.neme.org. I downloaded the plugin, using this post of yours. Admittedly there is no Fancy stop spam in the settings.

Re: banning

you have all hooks disabled

config.php

// Disable forum hooks (extensions) by removing // from the following line
define('FORUM_DISABLE_HOOKS', 1);

replace to

// Disable forum hooks (extensions) by removing // from the following line
//define('FORUM_DISABLE_HOOKS', 1);
