User Registration
by Derek on Mar.28, 2014, under News
I’ve been trying various methods to handle the spam accounts that get registered on wordpress sites. My latest was to require users to verify their e-mail addresses, but that doesn’t seem to really matter to the bots. Since I don’t want to close down registration entirely I have decided that from now on if you don’t have an approved comment within a few days of registering I am deleting the account. Accounts won’t expire, but I just can’t find a better solution.

I hate those damn bots too! Found this, dunno if its working good but… https://wordpress.org/plugins/nomorecaptchas/
there are a few comments in their support section, some saying its working ok some saying it gives them a little bit of trouble but maybe its a matter of their plugin interacting with other wordpress plugins… https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/nomorecaptchas
