That is great, glad this addon is keeping your registrations spambot free.

It stops automated registrations. Period. Regardless of VPN or intended message. Regardless of any other anti-spam measures you use.

You were getting over 1000 spam registrations a week before installing this addon?
Still? After install of the Spaminator?I get about 3-4 fake registrations per week that go through
Roger that, of course. I am curious to know if he still has any spam registrations get through, same as before.If so it is not bots.
I just went through my newly registered user logs, one by one. Most of the time, you can compare the IP address with the place they say they are from, and get a quick idea if they are legit or not. If the IP address is from an African coutry or Russia or someplace like that, and the user says they are from Chicago, and they have a bogus e-mail domain like hotmail or someother domain that is not usual, they there's a pretty good chance they are a spammer. Anyone with a place of registration of "New York, AL" and/or a registration of "Jan 1, 1999" and/or a keto-related URL in the registration or something like that is also pretty assuredly a spammer.I have been traveling this week so haven’t gone through things. I will look and report back.
Most of the registrations that have gone through have been from a variety of email domains (not typically done from gmail, yahoo, hotmail, mail.ru, etc) and they have two or three characteristics: a Jan 1 birthdate, location “New York, AL” and a keto-related URL in one of the registration sections.
I’ll have to go through and see how many of these have happened since I implemented Ozzinator’s Spaminator add-on.
It don't.Spaminator fails
After installing Spaminator.If you had spam, then to was 99.999% from a human, not a bot.
We're the accounts registered before or after installing Spaminator?
It don't.
I understand but it is bad practice to turn off all the other measures as they will also help eliminate the human spammers too.Then as I said, it was a human that joined. Then either they post the spam or they hand it off to a automated program to post.
