<p>Stop Signup Spam will prevent user registration of anyone trying to sign up with an the email address or IP address that has been reported to <a href="http://stopforumspam.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Stop Forum Spam</a>.</p>
<p>Contrary to what the name implies, Stop Forum Spam can be used with any web service, not just forums.</p>
<p>At this time, Stop Signup Spam integrates with:</p>
<ul>
<li>The core WordPress registration form</li>
<li>Restrict Content Pro</li>
<li>MemberPress</li>
<li>Give</li>
</ul>
<p>By installing this plugin, you consent to an API call sent from your WordPress site to Stop Forum Spam after every attempted user registration. The API call includes the user’s email address and IP address.</p>
<p>It is a similar concept to <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/akismet/" rel="ugc">Akismet</a>, except instead of checking for blog comment spam, it checks for user signup spam.</p>
<p>Unlike Akismet, no API key is required to query Stop Forum Spam’s database. Partly because of this, I decided not to include a settings page in the Stop Signup Spam plugin. Just activate and you are all set.</p>
<p>The plugin does not log any user registration info. Any data sent to Stop Forum Spam would fall under their <a href="https://www.stopforumspam.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">privacy policy</a>.</p>
<p>Please note that Stop Forum Spam is a third-party service that I have no affiliation with. I just found it, could not find any existing WordPress plugins that worked with it, and built one myself.</p>
<p>It has helped me cut down on signup spam on a free membership site that I run, and I hope it will help you do the same.</p>


Stop Signup Spam

Check user registration info against the Stop Forum Spam database before allowing registration

GravityKit

<p>This Gravity Forms add-on blocks spam using a non-obtrusive anti-spam measure and can email a spam report summary.</p>
<h3>Spam blocking for Gravity Forms</h3>
<p>To get started, all you need to do is activate the plugin!</p>
<h3>Is the Gravity Forms honeypot field not working for you? 🍯 🐝</h3>
<p>Zero Spam is better than the Gravity Forms anti-spam honeypot field. If you’re getting spammed, try this plugin.</p>
<h3>Use this plugin instead of reCaptcha</h3>
<p><strong>reCaptcha is user-hostile!</strong> Use this instead! Users don’t need to click stoplights, crosswalks, or bicycles when you use this plugin to stop spam.</p>
<h3>Enable or disable filtering per form</h3>
<p>If you only want the plugin for specific forms, that’s possible! The plugin adds a simple “Prevent spam using Gravity Forms Zero Spam” setting to each form (requires Gravity Forms 2.5 or newer).</p>
<h3>Spam report emails</h3>
<p>Spam summary report emails are disabled by default. Once enabled, a spam summary that includes the number of entries per-form will be sent via email.</p>
<p>Choose whether you want to be notified after the number of entries reaches a threshold (e.g. 10 spam entries) or after a certain number of days (e.g. every week). If there are no spam entries, no report will be sent.</p>

Gravity Forms Zero Spam

It helps way more than Gravity Forms' built in features, and it's nice to try invisible options before making users deal with Captcha quizzes. :)

Appreciate this plugin a lot!

Besides its simple approach, David Walsh’s “Zero Spam” technique, it works well.

Simple and effective

An amazingly simple yet successful strategy, this plugin captures pretty much all automated spam with little chance of false positives. No need to bother people with nasty CAPTCHAs, just install this plugin enjoy the ensuing peace.

Sends automated spam to the bit bucket

Enhance your Gravity Forms to include anti-spam measures originally based on the work of David Walsh's "Zero Spam" technique.
