    I am having problems with a membership site getting fake regitrations is there a way of blocking visitors coming to your site just to create fake accounts. Most of them come with the search query inurl:wp-login.php?action=register intitle:create an account start a captcha seems to block most phony registrations but I really want to block people who are just searching to create accounts and spam

    mollom.com is good but might not have a plugin for the software you are using. I like stopforumspam.com too.

    The reffer is google I do not want to block them maybe it's also possible to use robots.txt and block the google bot access to the registration form

    Maybe you can create another registration page and then use "noindex, nofollow" attribute so it won't show on Google results..
