[Snog]

Snog submitted a new resource:

Ban Registrations by Hostname - Ban user registrations by their hostname

This add-on will block users from registering on your site by their Hostname.

While this isn't the preferred way to block registrations, it has it's uses and is effective.

Registrations are blocked in the following order..

1. If the IP Address is the same as the HOSTNAME (must enable option to activate)
   
   Example: If the IP Adress is 111.111.111.111 and the hostname is 111.111.111.111 the user will not be able to register.
   
   
2. If the HOSTNAME supplied by the IP Address is in the...

If you can make Ban user registrations by their country it would be more popular and easier to use than ban by hostname

That already exists. There are at least two addons that do that:

Just wondering if there's any way this can also apply to logins?

My English is not the best and I dont understand if I can do this:

ad
zslsz.com

​

everyone with a mailadresse
{something}@zslsz.com get a message: "not possible"

-------------------------

the better way, i guess, would be to say: "thank you a lot, you are registered" and just don't save nothing.
Then a spammer does not know after a second that he can't use this address.

On the other hand, a legitimate person using the banned host name would never know why can't register.

However this is just as well optional, so admins can decide how to handle refusal. As a general principle, I don't like having "tells" in anti-spam tools. We've been talking about eliminating them in our anti-spam products. Making the "tells" optional seems a fair approach.

 

[Robert9]

Yes, an option is always nice to have.

Logging would be good too. So we can see what all is going on, being attempted.

It sounds to me you're trying to block spammers registering with zslsz.com?
If so, you can already do this the "Banned emails" feature.

OzzModz also offer an Email Whitelist addon so you can specify all the email addresses that should be allowed, so anything not in the list won't work for registrations: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/ozzmodz-email-whitelist.7951/

Right but, combined with this product. Logging only rejected attempts.

Depends on the {startnumber}?

Let's log first, then decide, if you can get in?

If the banned host name attempts to register we'd detect and log. Not interested in merely visits getting logged. If I understand you correctly.
