    I have this plugin installed and I think it’s been blocking a lot of spam, but today I had about 1900 registrations with obviously bogus users:

    Name: ❤️ You have unread messages from Julie (2)! Click Here: [url] ❤️
    Username: 3kyw8ej

    All the submissions were nearly identical. The entry point was an affiliate registration form set up by AffiliateWP, which is a plugin for woocommerce. This form both registers a user account and sets the user up as an affiliate. Even though the anti-spam plugin was active, it didn’t stop all these registrations at almost the exact same time.

    I am going to see if i can update this page to use ninja forms instead, maybe this form is not going through the spam filter.

    (Side note, I was trying to get some more information about these users which showed up in the scan afterwards, but the export feature only includes username, email and ip, not the name, date, and other fields that appear in the list page)

    Hello, @macdabby.

    Could you give me the link to the AffiliateWP plugin? We will test it on our environment.

    Also, this question is about the CleanTalk service. As per the WordPress catalog rules, we are not allowed to discuss any premium or non-plugin issues here.
