hi,

i'm getting about 5 new spammers registering on my site every day now. i have image verification turned on. is there any way I could prevent users from registering based on keywords in their email addresses? e.g., phentermine, viagra, sex, .ru, etc.? this would help a lot since most of the addresses are basically the same every day with some random numbers added here and there.

thanks,

You can use the built in sysem that forbids certain words in usernames, I believe.
