Spamming bbPress

I recently installed bbPress and within hours it was spammed. Is there any way to delete unwanted messages? I ended up deactivating bbPress until I can figure out a solution. Any help on deleting unwanted posts on bbPress?

bbPress can use akismet if it is installed already…

you should disable anonymous posting if it’s enabled.

I have akismet installed and the anonymous posting was disabled in bbPress. The advertising spam still got through. Any other suggestions.

Try installing the ‘bbPress moderation’ plugin and see if that helps.

I think you should install Capthcha plugins. Search one for in Google.

Well, I’ve got these installed:

bbPress Moderation

reCaptcha for bbPress 2.0

WangGuard

I also have ‘Anyone Can Post’ turned on as well. Little Spam coming my way now BUT I’d love if IntenseDebate was bbPress compatible

Rastarr,

Thank you. I installed reCaptcha and I thought it stopped the spam. Not so as the advertiser got through again. Hmm.
