@steilenhang – ironically, the issue you describe is with those role plugins, and WordPress core, not with bbPress directly.

It comes from the use of WP_User::set_role() which ends up nuking bbPress’s roles. That said, bbPress 2.2.3 also has support for mapping to custom WordPress blog roles, so there shouldn’t be anything “broken” there.

If there is, I’d love to see some specific steps to duplicate the circumstances so I can improve what I can in bbPress.
