Banned users registering?

  • Is it possible to restrict registration using a list of blacklisted email addresses, or IPs?

    I have an install of WP that is open for registration, but someone I have recently banned keeps coming in through various proxies and re-registering. He’s used the same email address, so banning his email would make this a lot simpler.

    Is it possible to deny registration to a banned address via a blacklist? Or is there a plug that already does this?

    Thanks! ??

    Actually, I found a workaround that I like better: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/41260

    I’ll just give out an auth code to specific users, and clean out the rest once a week or so. ??

    I ran into a similar situation, and was really shocked that there seems to be no simple way within the stock WordPress to block registration via IP list or email address. It seems there’s a tremendous amount of energy expended on blog comment spam robots (understandably), but no thought to the idiot user who just posts nonsense.

    Is there anywhere a plugin to allow for blocking registration by email address or IP address range? I don’t want to firewall a Comcast range in iptables, and I don’t care if this particular moron reads the blog, but I’m getting reeally weary of deleting his nonsensical posts…
