It will be back to a checkbox in 1.0 for sure.

It looks like all of my registered users have a BOZO setting of "1". I know that some these are bogus and that some are not.

Is there any documentation of this feature anywhere? What kind of settings can you use in this field and what do they mean?

You do need to remove it, but if that's ineffective apply the patch and then remove again. http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/822

Thanks!

bo·zo /ˈboʊzoʊ/
–noun, plural -zos. Slang.
1. a fellow, esp. a big, strong, stupid fellow.
2. a rude, obnoxious, or annoying person: Two or three bozos tried to cut in ahead of the rest of us in the supermarket line.

Users marked bozos means that Akismet (the part of the code responsible for spam detection) has identified these as spammers, or you have manually set their status. They can post, however posts will be visible only to themselves - they will not realise that their posts are showing up to noone else. Useful precaution against spammers (it bothers no-one, they don't try harder since they think they're succeeding) and perhaps against trolls, although I haven't tried that.
