What an awesome tool to clear your … user database

Even You make everything possible to prevent spam on your website provided by several major CMS systems like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal etc.., maybe you have to solve problem with automatic loggers - sploggers. These bitches can raise up resources needed to run your server where you host sites. In the better case, hoster will not do anything - he will not FUP your database requests, he will not raise your payments.

If your hoster is kinda professional, he should hate your website and force You to solve the problem.

We have had a problem with Sploggers because we do not want to force user registration to make social activities on sites, everybody knows that CAPTCHA is not the very excellent solution because there are commercial bypass services like deathbycaptcha.com .

Sploggers frequently use their Fake open-id accounts to go easily through any authorization/human-check mechanisms. So, how to go against them?

There is great service for spam comments Akismet.com , which provides a peer check with other users of Akismet. But, how we can prevent to register these sofisticated biatches?

We use a service Called WangGuard.com to prevent registration and to manage existing issues with sploggers and spammers.

How does it run?

The principal how-to is nearly same as Akismet principle, but wangguard provides very functional Wizard to clear existing problems - on automatic and manual basis. WangGuard also provides security questions to registration. In a several minutes you can clear your web from hundreds of sploggers. What an powerful tool for this disease.

We provide WangGuard service for multisite wordpress sites with Janrain Engage plugin and Buddypress. Now, we do not have problems with sploggers.

If you “enjoy” daily delete of these, try free version of WangGuard. Thumbs up.
