RegiVigil – Spam & Fake Account Protection never automatically deletes WordPress users.
Privacy
RegiVigil – Spam & Fake Account Protection may store registration event information including email address, username, spam score, detection reasons, source, timestamp and an anonymized or full IP address depending on settings. The default is IP anonymization. Log retention is configurable.
No registration data is transmitted to an external anti-spam service. Optional scan reports are sent only when enabled by an administrator and only to the configured email address.
The plugin registers suggested privacy-policy content and integrates with the WordPress personal-data exporter and eraser tools.
No. Native WordPress registration is supported. When WooCommerce is active, WooCommerce account registration is protected as well.
No. Detection is performed locally. Optional scan reports are sent only through the WordPress mail system to the administrator-configured recipient address.
No. Existing users are scored and classified only. Deletion is never automatic.
The plugin adds an invisible form field to supported registration forms. Normal users do not fill it in, while many automated bots do. Filling the field adds a strong spam signal to the registration score.
The plugin uses WP-Cron. WordPress checks scheduled tasks when the site receives requests, so execution time can vary on low-traffic sites.
