You can prevent people from registering at your site by ban a set of usernames, IP addresses, or Email addresses.
To ban a set of usernames from registering, enter them one at a line in the username box. This is very much like reserved names. However, we check for whole name only.
To ban a set of IP addresses from registering at your site, enter them one at a line into the IP box. IP address can be as specific as 123.456.789.012, or as general as *.456.789.012. In the latter case, IP addresses that contains .456.789.012 at the end will not be allowed to register.
To ban a set of email addresses from registering at your site, enter them one at a line into the email address box. Email addresses can be as specific as me@yahoo.com or the whole domain such as yahoo.com. We check for partial match here.
For Example:
If you enter yahoo.com then everyone at yahoo cannot register at your site
If you enter
me@yahoo.com then whoever has the email address of me@yahoo.com will not be allowed to register. However, if someone has youme@yahoo.com will not be able to registered, neither. So dont be surprise to see if you block someone and someone else is not able to register. If that's the case, they need to register with some other addresses.
