   Got my first spam post today on my new BBpress forum. So Akismet does not look at posts? How do you manage spam on a BBpress forum?

   bbPress 1.0.x or 2.0?

   I'd also appreciate a run-down on BBPress2 anti-spam measures.

   In my forum, I prefer not to require users to make accounts.
   We allow anonymous comments in our blog, and Akismet blocks all the spams; but our bbpress is getting flooded with bogus topics and replies.

   What about adding a field to post requirements. Perhaps requiring them to do a simple math formula prior to posting?

   Ie:
   Name
   Email
   Please prove that you are human: 1+5=

   Is this an option?

   justin, there is a wordpress plugin, Math Comment Spam Protection:

   http://sw-guide.de/wordpress/plugins/math-comment-spam-protection/

   which i *think* might be almost reasonable for a non-programmer (like me) to extend to bbpress 2 for anonymous posters. what appears to be missing in bbpress (at least i can't find it) is a filter hook analogous to 'preprocess_comment' for bbpress topics and replies.

   has anyone here come up with a non-captcha based solution to allow anonymous posting without being overrun with spam?

6. You must log in to post.
