The stats page doesn't show who is block, just gives a overview of what's happened in the last 24 hours. It will show how many times a email, IP has tried to register. Also showing where the users are coming from.

I've only heard of 4 or 5 forums complaining about blocking legit users and that's out of 1,000's of forums that are using it. Most of them are because they are using disposable email addresses or they are using a proxy trying to register.

If you are having issue of people registering, please send me the information emails and ip's and I will look to why they were blocked, if they are in our database there must be a reason.

I've blocked Russia and China and a few are still getting through, but by and large, it works nicely.

Is there a paid version of this mod?

We now know why some are getting through and we are working on that issue.

@Nirjonadda

I tried it on 3.7.2 and up and could not get an error, everything worked fine for me. Do you have any other plugins that might be conflicting?

edit .

FYI:

If a few spammers are getting through, its because our server is at its load and we are in the process of upgrading to new servers. This will help us out a lot!

Thanks everyone for the support!

Only 1 came through here out of 446 tries in the last 2 weeks.
I use both Fassim and GlowHost Spam-O-Matic.

I have a question for koneil before installing this mod, and I'm a little surprised this has been asked in the year+ this mod has been available:

There have no privacy policy on your site. I have no assurances concerning what is done with the IP and email data of legit user registrations which are passed to your API. Can you clarify this both here and on your site?

Data is stored to determine whether or not the user is a spammer using our algorithms. After a certain number of days the data is purged. We do NOT use the data ("IP's, Email addresses") for any other use but to determine where the user is located and if the user is a spammer. If a IP or Email address has high amount of traffic, classifying it as a "spammer", we will display this information publicly or share it to others.

I will update our website with a privacy policy.

Thanks!
