These are no Afghani. Just like you are not necessarily American. Use captcha and check spammers' Ips first.

afghanistan is the first country in the list.
And if you want to spam, I guess you don't take your own info. You just pick a country. Kort is right. Use capcha or at least email-activation. ... can we help you ...

but of course there is a possibility to check from wich country your user is.
you would need to make a plugin that checks the IP of the users and then re-checks the IP with the GEOMOD DB from where the IP is connected. if you know from where a user is connecting and wich ip segment he uses you could not allow them to register. with that check you could "ban" ppl logging in from a specific country except they use a proxy to connect to your site... offtopic: please dont take this too serious but i just imagined george w. bush being totaly annoyed about all that afgahni people registering on his site ![]() ![]() URL shortener: <a href="http://bbm.li/!7AD5C7">http://bbm.li/!7AD5C7</a>

offtopic: please dont take this too serious but i just imagined george w. bush being totaly annoyed about all that afgahni people registering on his site HAHA =D And well i do have email check. But they still register and stay inactive. Like i have alot registered right now. EDIT nvm ill add captcha maybe they will get tired of typing the letters and registering =P and just found out how to delete all inactive users. Thanks for the replies |

there is a plugin to autodelete inactive users after x time.
I guess it is this one: http://www.cotonti.com/downloads/plugins/users-communites/260 ... can we help you ...

Cleaner plugin (on by default) does that after 7 days. BTW, Kilandor has told me that some modern bots can activate with Cotonti e-mails too.
May the Source be with you!

Installing a captcha should solve about 99% of unwanted registrations, so that's your best bet.
