WangGuard free WordPress plugin
Description
WangGuard free WordPress plugin
I paid (with a great effort) another month of one of the servers. In October 20th, I won’t be able to pay the bigger server. I’m making this effort, trusting the success of the Indiegogo campaign. Soon, I will post the campaign link and I hope that all users of WangGuard make a donation no matter how small it is. In other case, I will be forced to close down WangGuard definitely.
Thanks so much to everyone for your support, please spread the word about #SaveWangGuard

No need to put any kind of filter in the user registration page (eg captcha). This is the greatness of WangGuard, not hinder users who wish to register on your site with Captchas and other things that just makes the registration being more difficult and in many cases do not stop Sploggers.
