Banning question

Newtex

How do you prevent users with a certain email pattern from registering?

I have tried to set up a banning filter for email, and it seems to work in the sense that the current users that have emails that match that pattern are banned. However, newly registered users will be unaffected.

Is there a way to prevent users from registering that have a certain email pattern?

Welcome to the community.

Try this addon:

I never uploaded that plugin, not sure why...

Thanks for these suggestions.

I looked into this a bit further, and I noticed new users are able to post things w/o having confirmed their email addresses. This despite having the "Require users to confirm their email addresses (recommended)" checkbox checked in the registration settings. So users can sign up with bogus email addresses and still post things.

So the question is perhaps why the checkbox doesn't work.
