Low NoSpam Now Supports Registrations

In the last EE Podcast, we talked about the problem of member spam and the steps you can take to protect your site and weed out the member spam. I jokingly said that Low should update his Low NoSpam to support member registrations. Well, now it does.

If you don’t know about Low NoSpam, here’s a description from his site:

This ExpressionEngine add-on will check comments to see if they’re considered to be spam by the chosen service, either Akismet or TypePad AntiSpam. But it doesn’t end there. It can also check incoming trackbacks (EE1), gallery comments (also EE1), forum posts, wiki articles and member registrations. Caught comments will be set to Closed for further moderation. Caught trackbacks, forum posts, wiki articles and member registrations will be discarded, since these do not have a proper native moderating system in EE.

Low NoSpam is free and if you find it useful consider dropping Low some beer money.
