Blocking spammers and the unwanted
I am currently under attack from someone in San Jose (so the IP Addresses suggest) and Moscow.
They are registering new users with Bio's that advertise a business and with userid and passwords that would lead directly to that business.
How do I stop these b*****d's without clamping down heavily on the site for decent users?
I am not technical and so be gentle with me.
At the moment I have switched to 'Account Activation' to stop these new accounts becoming live but I now have to sort through the 'awaiting' accounts and delete the unwanted accounts - 99% of them!
I see a Captcha option - what does that do and how do I set it up if it's the way to go?
