The code above differs sligly from the code suggested in the WPMU readme file on spam protection. In particular, your code does not include the following line: RewriteEngine On Is this line necessary? Second question, do I just need to include my sign-up slug (in my case "register")? Thanks Thanks Ron. quick questions. The code above differs sligly from the code suggested in the WPMU readme file on spam protection.
In particular, your code does not include the following line:
RewriteEngine On

Is this line necessary?

Second question, do I just need to include my sign-up slug (in my case “register”)?

Thanks

My question: As I have a site in russian lang and when the group is created or forum it tries to use cyrillic in a slug, which messes everything up. How can I change rewrite rules for bp, so that instead of slug id is used? Thanks in advance Dmitri Sorry it might not be a correct place to ask, but it seems you know quite a lot about bp and I cant find this info anywhere else.

I got tons of splogs right after I upgraded. I don't know if it's a coincidence. This worked prior to wpmu2.9. I got tons of splogs right after I upgraded.

Is there any other solution to stop spammer? it doesn’t work. I pasted the following code in .htaccess file.

# BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .register*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*mysitename.com.* [OR]

I have RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .register* as the entry for the slug and have deleted the WP MU register file and the bbPress ones also. I have no idea how splog registers are signing up but I am close to looking elsewhere for a solution 12 -20 splogs a day and a deny list of close to 120 IP addresses. It is getting real old using 1/2 hour a day of my life to clean up after these jerks. I know they are using an automated method because I installed BP-Registration-Options and although it does not really work well enough to use yet I could tell the amount of automated to actual sign ups. Almost all sploggers are automated on my site. Would the slug always be register? I have
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .register*
