Stop WordPress Registration Spam
April 9th, 2012
Since I'm thinking about all things WordPress, I've updated my Custom Captcha for WordPress into a proper plugin called Stop Registration Spam.
The idea is the same as before: to prevent automated registrations, and the spam that comes with them, by posing a question that will be simple for your visitors to answer, but impossible for a robot.
It now includes proper configuration via an options page in the WordPress Settings menu, where you can enter a unique question, answer and error message without altering the code.
You can download the plugin from the WordPress Plugin Directory, here.

Hi Baruni
Sorry I missed your comment. I'm afraid I have no experience of Buddpress, but the plugin injects the question/answer code into the standard user registration form. If Buddypress is changing or replacing that form in any way, I don't think this plugin could work without being rewritten.
Tom
