Biggest opportunity: Swap “registration”, “spam prevention” and “woocommerce” for “disposable email”, “blocker” and “domain”. “registration” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “disposable email” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “spam prevention” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “blocker” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “domain” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 300 of 3.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,477 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Login & Users plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

This plugin delivers! I tried another one which prevented customer registration from gmail, yahoo etc. but somehow still allowed spammers with “blocked” domains to submit orders for payment verification. With this plugin, those spam orders get stuck as drafts.Now I just need to find a way to remove those bogus customers, who appear in the woocommerce customer list but not in the wordpress user list, where it would be easy to delete them. A solution to this would be great but is a bit much to ask from a free plugin. 😉 Thanks for this great plugin, Kaleem!

Thanks for this compact email domain blocker, does what it says!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ jwvdmei1.9y ago
This plugin solved our problem in preventing fake registrations in our woocommerce/paid membership (free version) website. I think it could be improved with:– a log, that one can turn on or off, recording the attempted registrations showing which email addresses have been used when attempting to create an account,– the use of wildcards so one can identify strings and patterns.Great stuff, Thanks
