<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>
