I have the Classicraft theme. I am receiving many fake registrations every day. None of these people post anything. I do want to allow real users to use the site and post anything that they want. 1. Can you explain the difference between the new user default roles? Contributor, Subscriber, Author & Editor. Which one do you recommend? 1. I want new members to be able to sign up. Can I approve them before they become users? How do I filter it so only real people join the site? Thank you

I read it but it doesn't answer my questions exactly. 1. How do I stop fake sign ups? How can approve / disapprove people first before they become a role? I am getting tons of fake authors. 2. Also, which role do you recommend? Can somebody be an author and a follower? my goal os for people to be able to post and I want them to be able to write comments.
Hello, By Default subscriber role assign on registration of author. After registration you can assign any role manually form admin users settings panel. It will resolve your issue. Thanks & Regards Yogesh Bhade
I made the role "contributor." However, is there a way to catch fake accounts before they become "contributor" or "subscriber" etc…. Can CAPTCHA or something be added to people attempting to have role? I am receiving many fake user accounts. Is there a way to slow this down before they become a user? Regardless of the user role. whether it be author, subscriber etc….. Can I prevent them before they even become a user? These are fake users
Hello, Unfortunately there isn't a way to do that. Sorry. After registration user will get role. Thanks & Regards Yogesh Bhade
Can I pay someone to custom create that? It's a very big deal. I am getting many many fake user registrations. I mean MANY. Once I begin getting REAL users, I will have so many users that I may delete some real ones by accident. This will help all of your class craft customers.
