Restrict User Registration
-
I’m building a searchable, database, membership site.
It’s a free, professional-level site in a respected industry. There is no “content,” newsletters, so-called “articles,” no nothing. Only a searchable database.I have no interest in restricting user access after they have an account and set up a database profile.
Spam is not the issue. Bots are not the issue. The issue is riff-raff opening an account and setting up a profile: axe murders, sexual predators, porn stars, serial killers, child molesters, thieves, scammers, prostitutes, stalkers—you get the pictsure.
I don’t want to use money as a filter.
I want to require multiple registration information fields that can be automatically checked at the time of registration—or even in a background check: Name, address matched to zipcode, zipcodes matched to city, bogus phone numbers, SS#s, email, website, social site accounts, etc. Information that the above idiots and fools would not want to provide.If stuff doesn’t match; they get rejected. I want to do everything I can possibly do at the get-go to keep such trash out of my site.
Knowing enough about programming to be dangerous, alas, I’m assuming such complex filtering may require custom code up front. However, If I could find something out there that’s already available to do such filtering, that would be a blessing. All I can find is the standard after-the-fact-access stuff.
I just thought I’d throw this out there to see if anyone may have input on it.
All such wisdom is greatly appreciated.The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]
