<p>User registration spam is prevalent in BuddyPress.</p>
<p>One way to dramatically decrease signup spam is to restrict the email address domains that users can sign up with.</p>
<p>WordPress multisite has a native option called “Limited Email Registrations”.  But this option requires you to enter the full email domain.  For example, if you only wanted to allow .edu email addresses to register, this is not possible.</p>
<p>This plugin restricts registrations to the email domains that you specify and works in WordPress single-site and multi-site.</p>
<p>Plugin was developed for the <a href="http://commons.gc.cuny.edu" rel="nofollow ugc">CUNY Academic Commons</a>.  Licensed under the GPLv2 or later.</p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/bp-rsed" rel="nofollow ugc">Follow development on GitHub</a>.</p>
<p>Tested on BuddyPress 2.5, but should work all the way down to BuddyPress 1.6.</p>

<p>This plugin integrates <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-captcha/" title="widely used captcha plugin in WordPress" rel="ugc">Really Simple Captcha</a> plugin to the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/" title="BuddyPress lets users sign-up and start creating profiles..." rel="ugc">Buddypress</a> registration page. Thus, its function is dependent on both of them.</p>
<h4>Why RS Captcha for Buddypress registration page?</h4>
<h4>– Number of Downloads</h4>
<p>By the time of writing, RS Captcha has already been downloaded 2,569,017 times by users of Contact Form 7 and plugin developers.</p>
<h4>– Less conflict with other plugins</h4>
<p>RS Captcha is supported by Contact Form 7 and other WordPress plugins. Running two or more Captcha plugins at the same time can cause undesirable effects on your site’s performance. Why not choose the Captcha plugin with wide range of support?</p>
<h4>– Really Simple to use</h4>
<p>As the name of this plugin suggests, it’s really easy to use. This plugin is just a little addition to the security of the Buddypress registration page.</p>
<h4>– Prevent piling up of pending users</h4>
<p>Users who don’t activate their accounts, in the case of spammers, are still being recorded in the database as pending users. If you’re one the people who don’t like them piling up like that (like me!), then you’ll love this plugin.</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<p>Apparently, the activation of RS Captcha and Buddypress plugins is required for this plugin to work.</p>
