    red flag How to stop unsolicited/unauthorised customer registrations

    I am getting a lot of unsolicited "customer" registrations. They seem automated with auto name and email addresses. They also have comments ref to p o r n etc.

    How can I stop this happening.
    I am constantly deleting 100's every day via phpmyadmin and I am getting sick of this.

    All login passwords has already being changed.

    Where should I be looking for .

    Very frustrating.

    I believe you need a floater and a look at https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2237. No worries.

    Thats great..How does one register a genuine user using this mod?
    When the genuine user registers what needs to be done by admin?
    Does admin gets notified?

    Users never notice whether they are good or "bad". The good get treated well and the bad just swept off the desk to the bit bucket. They're never told they did wrong.

    So was I. The mod does nothing to a good guy. They see nothing different in any of the process and you get an e-mail.

    The bad guy gets the impression that everything worked but everything done is just dumped. No e-mail to anyone.

    Unless you occasionally go in and look at the report, you won't know the bad guys were there UNLESS they were not on the bad list when they showed up.

    A few will get through but that will happen no matter what you do.

    Sound like magic :-), I will install. How does the code know from bad to good?

    Extract the zip, go to the docs folder, go to the access_blocker folder, click on readme.html. Kat does an excellent job of informing you all about the mod.
