Hi guys,

I've been hit with SPAM accounts from china, everyday I find a lot of new accounts waiting to be activated, and they are all fake and being created by a generator. Is there anyway of preventing user to register an account if they list for example certain cities in the registration box? i.e. if they list china or anything else, since I don't want any user outside of my allowed countries.

As a new customer I am curious why there are no replies to this question of what seems an important problem.

Hi folks,
We have implemented Google reCaptcha (http://www.google.com/recaptcha/captcha)
to website of one of our customers who have such problem. He is testing it for a few days and informed me that it works ok. Well all who have the same problem can submit a ticket to helpdesc and get new reCaptcha.

Also I have solution for this request:

Is there anyway of preventing user to register an account if they list for example certain cities in the registration box?
I suggest using currency converter plugin which detect visitor country by IP, having visitor country name you can prevent him to use registration.
