Inactive & spam users [solved]

[theinvisible]

I want to stop these bots from registering to my website. Everyday so many user accounts are getting registered. I tried ban rules, But it is is not easy to ban every domain,subdomain or ip addresses. Please help. I'm attaching a screenshot of my spam users who registered today.

What is the harm done ? Do they post ads ? If not, why do you care ?

Why should i need non human user accounts in my mail list?

What is the need of google recaptcha or email verifications in registration page if bots are registering?

Your post says "SPAM USERS", are they spam user or not?

If they do not post spam, they are not. So wrong post and title.

If your concern is inactive users, you can find a way to delete (mass) if they don't post ads or not logged on for a long time.

Bots are attracted by your site apparently. Bots can't bypass google recaptcha.

I edited my post title. Now tell me a way to delete the inactive users other than by manually deleting them.

Non activated users can be deleted with Butler plugin. Activated but inactive should be deleted using a special sql query or something.

If they are not bots, please tell me why they are creating so many user accounts. I delete them everyday and i'm fed up with this.

How should i know ? Post your url and maybe we can help more.

I think you spend time for a non-existent problem.

I don't know why u can't understand things i'm saying. What i'm saying is ' I want my site protected from these inactive user accounts registered with some random mail id's and i don't want to delete my users who not logged in recently. I also don't want to delete inactive ads.'

I just want a solution for https://forums.osclass.org/3-7-x/register-spam-check/

Just want to block these domains and subdomains

Hi. I'm confused.... if your ReCAPTCHA is working and the bots are not stopped by it.....then ReCAPTCHA is useless.

I have a phorum and I resolved the bots problem by puting a gramar question besides the verfication code. For example.
Write the predicate of this sentence. And the answer should be the first word.

ReCaptcha is working all over the world just fine. Those are not bots apparently. And Osclass Ban rules work for me just fine also.

That is why i said that it is not clear what is happening.

I hope you are right... and the man has good luck to receive many new real users in a short period of time....because if ReCAPTCHA doesn't stop bots... its a big problem.

A second case would be some mean people registering on purpose fake users.
