Are user registration attempts on WP-integrated site spammers?

0 votes

For a while, I've been getting these errors showing up in my PHP log:

Question2Answer fatal error: User registration is handled by external code

I assume an ordinary visitor has no opportunity to create such an error, so this led me to assume it was a spammer of some sort.  So, I started logging IP addresses for this error, and it turns out to be a single IP address:

122.150.203.91

trying repeatedly to register on my WP-integrated Q2A site, which of course is impossible.

A reverse IP lookup gives the following domain:

122-150-203-91.static.dsl.dodo.com.au.

Any idea what this might be?  If it's a spammer, then here's their IP for everyone, it seems like they're sniffing for Q2A, so better block them.
