Re: Forum attacked by spammers

I was using Human Test for 8 months on a standalone 1.0.2 forum and it worked fine for our small population (100 members). This week it suddenly stopped working and wouldn’t let anyone register.

I tried to post a comment over in the bbpress Plugin Browser forum in the Human Test section, but I can’t post any comments over there, for some reason, despite being logged in.

So I turned on Akismet which claimed it blocked 24 spams the first night, and counted 9 Hams. What the heck is Ham? And there appears to be no way to review the spams to check for false positives?

Plus, I got 60 new registrants in 8 hours, and Akismet appears to do nothing to mark the spammers. Their web site is kinda skimpy on bbpress details, though I have sent a message to Tech Support.

I don’t have an associated blog.

Will upgrading to bbpress 2 make the spam situation any better?
