BUMP gonna bump this one to.

Gonna keep bumping this.

Is there or has anyone ever heard of a email address validation checker plug in for user registration?

I have gone to one on the web and deleted about 20 fake email users on my forum.

I'd like to ad this into my system.

I want to know how I can ban .ru domains or mail.ru or gawab.com and all of these domains that spam keeps coming from.

no help? I have installed akismet but that is not stopping them. It has caught a few but people still register strange names and I don't want that.

I am looking around to find some serious spam protection.
It shows I have users (guests 5 or 8 on) but I know they are spam bots.

I had an issue where my registration was not working.  If you would click register then the page would just stick back to the same login page where you clicked it. I downloaded a slightly newer version of the forums and replaced the registration.php file with the one from the new version- it worked after that. Before this I had absolutely no spam - I don't know if the new registration.php I used has anything to do with it but I just wanted to mention it.

Otherwise, I am seeing lots of spam protection items for NU php all script editing. There is one that tells you to edit the registration.php and ADD this or ADD that - but the instructions are not consistent with what I have in my registration.php file.

I am just not good at editing code from my existing files. I will do it if I have to but I really want something - like an easy plug-in I can ad for this.  Right now I have suspended my registration until I can resolve this. I'll paypal anyone 25.00 if they can succesfully ad this or show me how to add this in.

Thank you for any help you can throw at me.

I am unable to register users on my forum. I had recently installed wordpress  - I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I go to register on my forums http://www.xtcradio.com/forums/register.php and it loops back onto the same page. What is it not finding or able to access thats causing this?
