Click my profile name to go to me bb site, then click “register” at page top to see reCaptcha in action.
I installed the reCAPTCHA plugin (noted above) and it seems to have nipped the problem spam in the bud. Previously, CK’s “Human test for bbPress” plugin had been doing the trick on my board. However, with this more aggressive & annoying automated bot spam, it was guessing the equation and then getting in the door.
I’m not overly happy about having to install captcha software, because it’s difficult to make out the characters sometimes and I feel it’s an impediment to quick and easy registration for people. Nevertheless, something that stops the hoser spammers is appreciated and reCAPTCHA appears to have succeeded (for the time being).

I’m getting the same kind of spam from those same bogus gmail addresses. And they are using random forged ip addresses. I guess I’ll try Akismet or Captcha and see what happens on my 0.9.0.6 board.

I’m saddened to see development of bbPress stagnate since summer. After glimpsing bbPress a couple of years ago, i was enamored with the visual appeal, design and speed. This led me to migrate my fairly large board over to bbPress from older inferior software earlier this year. I dont want to see bbPress die! It’s got mojo and can be strengthened.
Pretty please, update me on how we can carry bbPress into 2010 and beyond as a dynamite communication tool. Thank-you.
