Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted November 17, 201311 yr There is a setting in ACP: Get notified when a new user registers via email...yes or no I like to get notified but there is one problem. Those notifications come as soon as someone completes registration process. To avoid spammers after registration you have to reply to confirmation email. Most spammers won't do it so let's say on average I'll have 1 confirmed registration out of 10 attempted. I'd like to see an option to get notified about new registration but only when it's confirmed. As of now I'm getting tons of notification email but only a handful of those people become members. There are so many spammers (spambots) out there that I have to disable notifications about new registrations because they were just choking my inbox.
November 17, 201311 yr I would recommend that you set level 3 & 4 to not allow registration on the spam service, then also make sure you have a strong question and answer validation, that should do the trick.

December 10, 201311 yr Actually, adding a few security questions even with the answer added to the question, will prevent 99.9 % of bot registrations, and about 0.05 % of real people registrations... :D Warm regards, Wim
