Hi there,
I don't understand the User Name block feature.
You can following string match
- ^username : String start with username
- username$ : String end by username
- username : String contain username
Could you make examples for me please, so I'll better understand?
Best regards
Hi Kapseln,
Thanks for your post.
Suppose you have a site and the admin name of the site is Kapseln. When visitors want to register on your site, they must choose a username. They might choose some usernames like kapselnadmin, adminkapseln or cheaterkapseln (sorry! It's for just demonstration purposes 😛 ). As an admin, you might not love this, and you want to prevent them from choosing these types of usernames and instead throw them an error message. Let me describe how our Spam Protection option setting can handle it.
^kapseln => if you use this, any of the names that start with kapseln will not be registered.
will not be registered: kapselnadmin, kapselnrealadmin, kapselncheater
will register: adminkapseln, realadminkapseln, cheaterkapseln
kapseln$ => if you use this, any of the names that end with kapseln will not be registered.
will not be registered: adminkapseln, realadminkapseln, cheaterkapseln
will register: kapselnadmin, kapselnrealadmin, kapselncheater
kapseln => if you don't use those special characters and just put plain text like this, then the name that includes the word kapseln will not be registered.
will not be registered: adminkapseln, realadminkapseln, cheaterkapseln, kapselnadmin, kapselnrealadmin, kapselncheater
Will register: any names that don't contain the word kapseln.
Note: To use this feature, don't forget to change the option setting Enable username block to Yes.
