The Post Count Plus plugin does exactly that:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-count-plus/
You can set “custom titles” depending on the number of posts… and even change the colors of each username, depending on custom title.
Hope that helps!
It’s my understanding that the next release (1.1?) will be a standalone version of bbPress with bug fixes and a few feature additions added (email notifications and anonymous posting).
In the longer term, I believe that bbPress will become solely a WordPress plugin just like BuddyPress. If that’s true, then the only standalone version of bbPress will be the earlier versions, which of course are GPL and anyone is free to download and/or fork!
I emailed you!
If you send it over, I’d be happy to diff the latest code to yours and post details on what code changed… 
Thanks!!
I have Instant Password installed on one forum where I get around 150 members a day, and this hasn’t been an issue? But the forum hasn’t had many griefers, so ymmv.
I don’t think an “email verification” plugin exists… this is the closest I know of:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/approve-user-registration/page/2/#post-3902
Hope that helps!
I don’t think a v 1 plugin exists that can do that?
If someone doesn’t suggest one, your best bet would be to hire a developer to adapt the plugin to work for version 1.0+…
Do you want to be able to approve topics/posts before they even appear on your site?
If so, this plugin is great but it only works with earlier versions of bbPress:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-moderation-hold/
I don’t think there’s a “hold for approval” moderation plugin that works with 1.0? But if someone knows of one, please post a link! It’s come up a few times in the past few weeks…
@karma1981 – That’s a bug with the plugins page… there are two issues:
1) The download only works if you are registered, for some reason. So first, you have to sign into the plugins install.
2) The signin isn’t automatic because bbpress.org/forums and bbpress.org/plugins are using different versions of bbPress and don’t have cookies integrated.
So in short: sign into the plugins page, and the download should work!
Instant Password definitely works in 0.9. I have it installed on 12 separate 0.9 installs.
But until you can hire someone to upgrade Instant Password to work in 1.0, your best bet is probably making sure that your server is configured to be able to send email.
Chriahajer wrote a great post on it here:

If your server isn’t sending out email, you could also install this plugin… to give bbPress access to an SMTP mailer:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/smtp-mailer-for-bbpress/
Each install should have its own prefix… this may help!
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/multiple-forums-in-a-single-database-change-prefix-to-what
Before advising on how to install 0.9 correctly… first, did installing 0.9 mess up your 1.0 bbpress install?
Are you using the same database table for both? Is each table using different prefixes?
I’m not clear on how buddyPress’s progress impacts the bbPress project? I use bbPress for its message boards functionality, and don’t really want all the social functionality of buddyPress. So whether or not they use the latest bbPress doesn’t really affect me.
From what I understand, bbPress is moving in the same direction as buddyPress – it is becoming a WordPress plugin and will use the same theme as WordPress. So in that sense, buddyPress’ efforts here are a proof-of-concept for bbPress’ path?
Trying to understand how this development means any of us are wasting our time here!
Email deliveries can be spotty… this plugin lets you specify the password yourself instead:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/instant-password/
I use it on all my sites, and customer service requests have plummeted!
Let us know how the test goes!
You could do it pretty easily with a custom view.
But actually, what about just sorting your forum based on the time the topic was posted (not time of last post/comment). That would completely prevent all bumping… would that work for you?
The plugin works for me in bbPress 1.0.2. Is that the version you’re using?
If so, it’s probably going to rest on you: you most probably have a theme or plugin conflict.
Sorry man, I’ve done as much remote diagnosis as I can!
If you’re not comfortable having a volunteer from here access your server (which I totally understand), you may want to hire someone? Either way, you should do a full backup of your entire database and files first!
Good luck…
I was able to get the Polls plugin working on a 1.0.2 install…. so it should be possible.
You shouldn’t be editing the original template under /bb-templates/. You should move your custom theme to under /my-templates/, and then re-upload the old Kakumei under bb-templates.
It’s very helpful to have Kakumei around, when you’re attempting to eliminate themes as a source of conflict with plugins.
All I was going to do was activate the original Kakumei theme and then re-test poll creation. Then de-activate Kakumei and go back to your original theme.
I know you mentioned you only changed the CSS, but even that could cause issues. So thought I’d try that, and also review your list of plugins to look for compatibility conflicts.
Feel free to try that stuff yourself! And good luck…
Ah sorry, I don’t really do IM support. Was just trying to be helpful…
I wouldn’t worry about 1.1… once you have something working, you don’t necessarily need to upgrade to the latest version unless you want to.
Re: 1.1, Matt’s update last week about the upcoming version didn’t mention polls: “[The] 1.1 release will include email notifications and anonymous posting, both of which are in trunk and would appreciate testing and patches. After that it’s bug fixes, and release.”

But I could’ve missed something!
If you give me keymaster access, I can run some quick tests for you? The site wouldn’t be affected for more than a few minutes…
EDIT: Please don’t feel obligated in any way… if you’d rather not give access to a stranger, I completely understand!
Wait a second, I just tested it on a 1.0 install and it worked!
So it looks like it may be a configuration issue after all… maybe a plugin conflict?
Oh wait, I just checked it out in 0.9 and a “Save” button doesn’t appear there while posting either… but if you Submit the whole post, the poll does appear.
I bet something changed in 1.0 so that that doesn’t work any more… sounds like the bug may be more than just a superficial missing button.
Ah thanks for resetting it to default! Hmm, it definitely looks like an issue with the plugin/version compatibility. I also just tested it on a 1.0 install, and saw a similar issue.
Your best would be to ask a programmer to take a look at the plugin and see if they can spot the issue! I bet it’s a pretty minor one, if everything else works except for that one button.
What do you have input under the option for “Text to show for SAVE button:”?
You may want to try putting the word “Save” in there and resaving the settings… and seeing if that fixes things. Maybe it’s an encoding issue?
Ah I see you’re using a translated version of the Polls plugin… did you translate the strings yourself?
Two questions:
1) If you switch to the English version, does the Save button appear?
2) Did you get a chance to briefly change to Kakumei?
