Dealing with unwanted (and probably spam) accounts via SSO?

Since you are SSOing (is that a word?) through WP, you might want to add a Captcha to your login. It is really effective against that kind of automated bot (if it is an automated spam bot) I’d try the new one by Google (https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html) first as it only requires a code if it thinks you may be a bot.

Thanks for this suggestion! I just implemented it on our WordPress site with this plugin (just in case anyone else is interested).

Here’s our login page (which we use Custom Login to make it look a littler cleaner) that people who register on the forum are directed to if you’d like to see how it’s implemented or see if there’s anything else that may be causing a problem… or god forbid if you just want to talk about indie games haha.

I’ll try to find a better domain blacklist plugin as well. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. Hopefully, that recaptcha thing helps.

Thank you for all the help with this
