What to do to completely rid of sploggers

I am working on a premium theme that I bought from envato with buddypress, bbpress and e-commerce and found users signing up. I am continuously deleting these sploggers.

I have installed the WangGuard plugin which helps as I don't get too many sploggers after it was in place.

I am still a novice in PHP so any help will be much appreciated.

    Unless user registration an integral part of your plugin, why not disable it till the time you're ready for it?

    Alternatively, I think you could try restricting the usernames you can use on your website - that is, users can only use a few usernames that you define if they want to register. I'm speaking by looking at the piece of code on this website -

    https://sozot.com/wordpress-username...hout-a-plugin/

    This code actually blocks certain usernames from being used, but try just reversing the functions after the double ampersands (&&) and that could do the trick for you.

    (There is also a plugin called "Restrict Usernames" which has an option where you could mandate that usernames should be of a certain format, that could serve your purpose. But keep in mind that it hasn't been updated in an year, so not sure if that would help).
