  2. I was logged in as admin (and refreshing the same page again and again), and it blocked my IP :-s

  3. The plugin should not function if the user is logged in and the user is moderator+

  4. Gautam Gupta: PHP4BB blocks not only spam registrations but also harvesters, which don't need to log in to see what they want - email addresses.

    If you get blocked, you can click the link that says "listed on Project Honey Pot" and whitelist yourself. The only two reasons this plugin would block you randomly would be a virus on your computer being caught in action by a honey pot, or your dynamic IP address changing to one that was previously spamming.

    There's no way to allow mod+ in and keep everyone else out because the plugin does its work before the functions to get the current user's role are loaded, and the login page is blocked too.

  6. I think bb_is_trusted_user() function can be used. It can be found here - http://trac.bbpress.org/browser/tags/1.0.2/bb-includes/functions.bb-users.php#L83

  7. Gautam Gupta: The thing is that this plugin will only block someone if you have your settings messed up or if your IP address is actually a spam server/harvester/comment spammer/etc.

    The entire forum gets blocked, including the login page. If you weren't blocked and then you became blocked, your IP address probably changed to one that was used by a spammer, or you could have a virus.

  11. When I installed this plugin, I got the following error upon attempting to activate:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_option() in /home/sites/wordpress/web/wp-content/plugins/php4bb/project-honey-pot-for-bbpress.php on line 27

    Can I not use this plugin? I sure need something or I'll have to delete the forum.
    Thank you
