Cheers Rich! I registered and played around quite a bit.
Here’s the only issue I’ve come by so far, which is really nothing:

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.

Wow Rich! It looks very promising! 
Thanks a lot!

I went to the bbPress admin panel & there’s 1 admin, a friend of mine that helped me set up the site & I made him an admin a year ago. The admin ID & my ID are the only Key Masters. There’s one moderator, again someone I set up as a moderator. Everyone else is a member or inactive.
I checked off the “Bozos only” button & filtered & there are 607 bozos. Is there an easy way to block all of the bozos or do I have to block them one by one? Or should I not bother?
And there were 37 posts in the posts table that were spam, for things like insurance & imaging jobs in Miami. I deleted those posts from the database control panel.
Question: Is the “bozo” attribute set by Akismet? And does Akismet add entries to the “Recently moderated” list on the dashboard?
I’ve changed the admin password & my password. I’m having my friend change his password. Hopefully, that will stop anyone from gaining access to admin rights.
My site has almost 1200 users & 607 of them are bozos. That’s depressing.

Hiya,
I’m working with this plugin and I’m having some difficulties with it.
http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/forum-last-poster/
The last post link of the first forum is empty, all other last posts are correct.
Do you have any idea why the first result returned by forum_last_post_link() is something like this?
http:/example/forum/topic/#post-
(toppic slug and post id are missing)
Anyone resolved this or know what might be going on?
Thanks,
Mitch
I’m having issues with spammers. There are tons of posts in the posts table in the database, but only the 4 I originally created are showing. And someone else, who seems to be a spammer, seems to have moderation rights in the forum.
I also have WordPress multisite installed and that’s giving me troubles too, but I wonder if this is all related? I’m thinking of blowing away bbpress, truncating all of the bbpress tables and starting again.
I’m going to be changing the admin passwords today. I want to query the user table for users with admin rights. How do I do that?

Ok, i took a look around (and saw now the post of Submachiner :-p) and found a solution – there’s still a problem with “raquos” in the rss-file. Go to the root-directory of your bbpress-forum and open the rss.php, then replace all the »s; in it with something else, for example with >> . After doing this the Feeds show all content now

Try bavatars instead: way better!

Jyri makes good job with bbP and WP
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.

If you want to turn your forum private, use this plugin.

Yes, this is a common problem and as far as I know there is no easy solution to it.
I suppose you can write a simple plugin/script to remove all tags inserted by a certain user from your database…

I have a script that I made that pulls the count of posts a user does on bbpress and displays it on wordpress page template. For some reason I can’t get it to work. I know I need to add something to wordpress but I am not sure what. Here is the script so far.
function get_user_posts_forums1($user_id) {
global $wpdb; // I know I need to change this
$count = $bbdb->get_results(“
SELECT COUNT( * ) AS total
FROM {$bbdb->posts}
WHERE poster_id = {$user_id};”, object);
return $count[0]->total;
}
Any ideas?
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?
