Register Review????

[chaoswar4u]

Over the past few months working on a new project ive been gradually running through features and making improvements where I believe there required and now I come to the register page. Now this has got me second guessing myself bigtime. The reason for this is there are many methods to try and save you game from idiots but Im unsure of the disadvantages. The only method I believe has any good effect is having a email validation system in operation however im worried that is there any reason to think that emails would fail to get where there required due to spam / junk mail filters and thus having a big impact on members joining. I was woundering if any other members have any other methods that you think will have a good method to protect your site from mass multis etc. Many thx for any input given.

Re: Register Review????

for right now i have an IP blocker on the register page which stops them from registering with the same IP.

i found it in the Mccode mods section here on CE.

Re: Register Review????

I have.

Email Validation.

IP Checker

Email Result

My email result is to check similar email's. For example

Explode 1 => killah-city

Explode 2 => @

Explode 3 => hotmail

explode 4 => .

explode 5 => com

Forming: [email protected]

It take's explode 1 and matches it with the database, if no result's were found process. If result's were found we move onto checking the explode 3. If the explode 3 result does not show up in the database, we give them an error. Forming an email like this: [email protected].

Now we check if the explode 5 is resulting.

In overall my email system check's email's like this.

IF there is something like killah-city in the database proceed to next check

IF the explode 3 is different from the one in database. Give error

Yes, it sound's complicated. But it work's if user's want to use email's such as

[email protected]

[email protected]

[email protected]

Another way i also have for email validation is to actualy send a request to the domain, thus being kk,blah,this.com and if no request return was found, give error. This is also being used on my voting site which is in the work's.

Ask MD to post the one to cetwg to check if domain is still active. It help's alot. Altho i never got mine from him.
