Re: [smesa] Membership login to admin backend
Hi Shawn,
Jason is looking into the session issue right now.
In my experience, spam bots usually target uncustomizable web software so they can exploit thousands of websites without human input.
I think the simplest way to avoid spammers is to manually approve new members by having your signup form insert new accounts with disabled = 1, and also send an email to someone (such as yourself) to let them know that a new user needs approval.
If this doesn't work for you, another option would be to include a CAPTCHA. We don't have a CAPTCHA plugin, but there are many free PHP CAPTCHA scripts available on the web which could be integrated.
Depending on how much traffic your site gets, spammers might not be an issue at all. It might be more cost effective to simply do nothing until spam becomes a problem.
I hope this helps!
All the best,
Chris
