We're excited to share our first XenForo add-on with the community!

UserCheck blocks users from registering with disposable/temporary email addresses. It uses the UserCheck.com API to validate email addresses in real-time during registration, helping to reduce spam accounts and improve the quality of your member base.

✅ Automatic Detection - Validates against a daily updated database of disposable emails and domains
✅ Two Validation Modes - Choose between full email validation or domain-only (for privacy)
✅ Free Tier Available - 1,000 API validations per month at no cost
✅ Easy Setup - Auto-redirects to settings after installation
✅ Clean Integration - Extends XenForo's existing validation with no core modifications
✅ Fail-Safe Design - If the API is down, registrations continue normally

How it Works​

  1. User attempts to register with an email address
  2. The add-on checks the email/domain with the UserCheck API
  3. If it's a disposable email, registration is blocked with a friendly error message
  4. If the API is unavailable, registration proceeds normally (fail-open design)
  1. Download the add-on
  2. Upload to your XenForo installation
  3. Install via Admin CP
  4. Get your free API key from app.usercheck.com
  5. Configure and you're done!
  • The add-on itself is completely free
  • UserCheck API offers 1,000 free requests/month
  • Paid plans available for larger forums
  • XenForo 2.3.0+
  • PHP 7.4+
