Current: 3.3.9
Planned 3.3.11
My query is a follow-up on viewtopic.php?t=2167909 from many years ago.
I have a Q&A spambot question in place, but this isn't stopping real (shady) people signing up with
sh.k.ut.ko.v.i.g.orecze.k.best@gmail.com
sh.kutkov.igo.r.e.cz.ek.be.st@gmail.com
etc etc
Banning by IP, email and even country (I have Filter by country extension) isn't working as they are obviously using VPNs to keep popping up all over.
I don't want to make the Q&A question so difficult as to be ungoogleable, so I'm wondering if the idea to ban
*.*.*.*@gmail.com
or even
*.*.*@gmail.com
still works, as I don't know any genuine gmail users who have more than one dot, so happy to rule out any gmail address with 2 dots or more.
