I have been getting an average of 5 or 6 spam user accounts created per day on my site of the "buy Viagra type. I just installed two extensions in the hope of blocking future attacks.
I can't seem to get Title_Black list to work. I've added the extension and have added the following to LocalSettings.php:
require_once( "{$IP}/extensions/TitleBlacklist/TitleBlacklist.php" ); $wgTitleBlacklistSources = array( array( 'type' => TBLSRC_LOCALPAGE, 'src' => 'Project:Title blacklist', ), );
I've set up Project: Title blacklist as follows:
# This is a title blacklist. Titles and users that match a regular expression here cannot be created. # Use "#" for comments. # This is case insensitive by default
\d*\sbuy\s.* <newaccountonly>
Yet, I can still add account called "Buy Viagra" or whatever.
Am I missing something?
I will let you guys know if it worked.

I recently started getting the same spam. I am going to install the SpamBlacklist extension tonight or tomorrow and will let you know how it works.

Is anybody else getting tons of user registrations that have spam in the user pages and the usernames are soemthing like "180 buy Viagra"?
I haven't had a chance to test it but doesn't the keyword blacklist block the usage of those words in usernames and userpages?
Also is there a better captcha available.. this bot is getting around the math question
