Registration spam filter?

Is it possible to set up a registration filter to block out certain bots and spammers? Every day we're getting new registrations with 'online' or 'poker' or similar in the email address or username and it's a pain in the neck.

Hello,

Yes, you can set up wildcards for both usernames and emails that will reject certain strings. However, keep in mind that these are at a high risk of false positives, for example, "online" can appear in domains for perfectly valid reasons.
