All signups coming from same IP or something ?

You can block IP with .htaccess by adding "deny from IP_ADDR"

If signups are from proxy, we can block them with some script modifications.

If you have any suggestion on blocking the signups let us know.

I think it is proxies because they were multiple ips coming from all continent. I have disabled the signup file and page for now, and it stopped. I would be interested in the script modifications to make sure i can enabled the file. Thanks

If you want to disable proxy signups, open a support ticket.

I'm having problems with lot's of spammy signups. They just keep coming, how do they pass that captcha code?

What should I do for protection? Can we add another protection on the sign up page like whats 2+2 or something else?

I know there must be a spammy user here and there, but this is just too much! The script doesn't have an easy way to delete multiple users, so I have to delete them one by one!
