  1. I have a few users whose posts are continually marked as spam. In the Admin menu, I can find the spam under Akismet Spam.
    But unlike the spam filter in I use in Wordpress, I do not know where or how to solve the problem. How do I convince bbpress that these users are OK?
    Many thanks.

  2. I don't know how to permanently set that. However, if you get no other spam you could turn off Akismet by removing your Automattic key in config.php, as a temporary fix?

  3. Ya I'm having the same problem. Seems there's no logic that says:

    If (post is not from member)
       then pass post to spam rules
       else always accept

    Either that or it's broken.

  6. The change in that ticket only covers moderators, admins and keymasters. Not members.

    This is as it should be because members are not and should not be trusted by default. The automation of member signup, login and post is possible. Not to mention real human spamming by ill-intentioned "members".

    So this is behaviour by design as far as I can tell.

  7. Sorry, I eat my words, the changes are to trust all members as well. Which seems odd to me for the reasons I just mentioned. Oh well...

  9. This wouldn't be related to "bozo" issues would it?

    Bozo is first thing I disable on a new bbpress install.
