<p>This is a simple plugin designed to cut down on automated spam registrations and the emails they produce.</p>
<p>The idea is simple: in order to register, users have to answer a question that’s simple for anyone reading your blog, but impossible for a script being run by a spammer.</p>
<p>To install, simply copy stop_registration_spam.php to your Plugins directory. Enable the plugin and an options page will appear under the WordPress Settings menu.</p>
<p>In the settings page, enter your question (keep it short), answer (ideally very short) and a hint to display if the user gets it wrong. Save these and they’ll be used for new registrations.</p>
<p>I’ve been using this plugin for a few months, and it cut spam from dozens a day to none at all. Hope you find it useful. Questions etc welcome on my blog:</p>

Restrict Usernames Emails Characters


I was looking for a "Not allow these names" and this plugin did that for me. Now I can block mail.ru, blogspot, www., etc when trying to register.



The admin area could use some love... I think if the addon better replicated the default wordpress admin style things would be better.




remove hamburger in top right corner



fix spelling "Extentions" to "Extensions"



fix padding / margin spacing between UI elements



sidebar admin menu name is huge "Restrict Usernames Emails Characters …" should be "Restrict Usernames" or something really short




I liked and appreciated how the "leave review" banner was at the bottom of the page and not in my face at the top. That's why I left this review...



Great job! Thanks!


It's nice but need some "polish"

Restrict the usernames, email addresses, characters and symbols or email from specific domain names or language in registration ...
