I actually thought the first sentence of above post was directed at my previous comment. That BBPress would triumph in the end. Before handbags came into the picture.

Man. The state of BBPress is so depressing at times.

Did my topic about spambots just get attacked by a spambot?

Oh no… that´s so fucking ugly. Nobody understands what that shit means.
Is there no simpler solution to this?
Human test was so elegant in comparison.-

I just installed honey pot too.
I don´t know if it catches these bots, but the idea is good.
Both honey pot and stopforumspam work with 1.02.
The latter says it has catched 870 spammers now, but it doesnt stop these generic gmail accounts from registering and posting – always when I´m sleeping!

Bah, I´m getting four spamposts every morning now, by four new registered spammers. Looks like I´m gonna have to do something drastic.
Can you post a picture of how Recaptcha looks like during signup?
Those I´m thinking of are so hard to read that I fear it might chase away real potential members too.

Uh, account needed? No thanks.
I´m tired of registering everywhere for these plugins. Either they work or don´t. Dont bother the user by forcing him to become a member everywhere.

Hard Seat Sleepers theres always people like you who have to tell me Akismet should be fine. It was back when I tried it the first time too. They had a hard time believing what happened, untill loads of members gave the same testimony.
Fact is, it treated normal users as spam/spammers. And Akismet for BBpress does not allow you to see what the spam IS. It just tells you that it has deleted this and that. Then suddenly three good members stop posting, because their efforts are thrown in the trash. And then your whole forum goes under.

Because Akismet messes the whole forum up.
I almost don´t remember why, but it kept real users from posting and registering and messed up post counts where there was no need for it, and more.
I installed bbnospamuser and thought it worked… because it said it caught several spammers in the statistics, untill today. Another idiot spammer advertising a Nissan.
I´m gonna install project honeypot too.
But the biggest flaw, and READ THIS NIGHTGUNNER, is that BBpress doesnt give me the IP of users, so I cant register these car spammers in the database.

I´ve done some searching myself, and hopefully you guys can help me pick the best solution of these listed plugins:
bb-NoSpamUser
-https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/nospamuser/
Sounds good if these spammers IPs are included in the database
Project Honeypot
-https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/php4bb/
Same goes for this one. Which is more reliable for BBpress 1.02?
reCAPTCHA
-https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/recaptcha-bbpress/#post-3955
Ugly, but may work better than Human Test, any opinions?
Clickcha
-https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/clickcha/
Same goes for this one
Blocklist
-https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/blocklist/
Perhaps more labour intensive than necessary?
