    @Ramiuz Akismet works fine for forums. I use it on several as admin, and as Moderator. using it combined with the bozo plugin makes things a PITA for me, as there is no indication as to which is spam, and which is bozo – but that is a whole other issue.

    I would like to see proof that it deletes posts without your intervention (either via setting, or a.n.other plugin). because if that is indeed the case, then the plugin needs looking at.

    I updated it a couple of days ago but even I see a spammer about every other week.

    I have to assume it’s humans doing the account creation because it’s so cheap to get labor now, it might be semi automated where it fills out the info and allows the human to deal with the question.

    You’d think they’d figure out this is a waste of time but I guess they are looking for the sites where the postings stick around for awhile.

    I can deal with it once a week until I figure out another way to tackle them.

    By the way I don’t use akismet and I always recommend you disable the bozo feature which Sam made a plugin you can turn off at my request, because it just causes havoc with false positives.

    i just installed the BBpress Latest Discussion plugin on my wordpress site and it’s great. The only problem is that the plugin excludes ÅÄ and Ö witch is a problem because most of the visitors are Swedish. Does any one know how to make this plugin allow latin characters or are there any other way to display latest post and author on my wordpress frontpage?

    Grateful for an answer.

    Hey guys,

    I’m currently putting together my first site using WordPress % bbPress (they are both linked etc).

    What i’m trying to do is display the 4 most recent active threads. By this, i do not mean the last 5 posts. I mean the latest 5 threads that have posts made in them. I hope that makes sense.

    E.g.

    [Thread Title] by [Original Poster]

    I came across a script which links my bbPress RSS feed to my WordPress custom template, here it is:

    <?php if(function_exists('fetch_feed')) {
    include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.'/feed.php');
    $feed = fetch_feed('http://localhost/wordpress/bbpress/rss.php?forum=1');
    $limit = $feed->get_item_quantity(4);
    $items = $feed->get_items(0, $limit);
    }
    if ($limit == 0) echo '';
    else foreach ($items as $item) : ?>

    <ul class="latest">

    <li>

    <span class="title"><?php echo $item->get_title(); ?></span>

    </li>

    <?php endforeach; ?>

    I tried linking to “http://localhost/wordpress/bbpress/rss&#8221; etc but “http://localhost/wordpress/bbpress/rss.php?forum=1&#8221; was the only feed i could pick up. It doesn’t really matter though considering i’ll only have the single forum section anyway.

    Now, this produces the following on my WordPress template:

    Tigeran on “Your first topic”

    [Last Post Author] on [Thread Title]

    As stated before, i want it to appear like this:

    [Thread Title] by [Original Poster]

    I soon found out that i needed to edit the rss2.php file located in bbpressbb-templateskakumei folder as i’m using this template. Looking through it i came across this:

    <title><?php post_author(); ?> <?php _e('on')?> "<?php topic_title( $bb_post->topic_id ); ?>"</title>

    & changed it to this:

    <title><?php topic_title( $bb_post->topic_id ); ?> <?php _e('by')?> <?php post_author(); ?></title>

    But there is no change as it stays as the original. It’s like i cannot overwrite this file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    John James Jacoby yes it is true.

    I wouldn´t say it if I had not experienced it.

    Akismet was made for blogging, and BBpress is not blogging.

    Akisment for BBpress will delete posts by normal people. And it won´t let you do anything about it. Infact, it won´t show you exactly what is deleting at all. It just keeps deleting stuff in its own, and keeps the keymaster in the dark.

    This made me especially angry when I managed to find out, that infact all Akismet had deleted, was normal posts. And not a single valid spam.

    So please stop reccomending this.

    If you have several thousands of members in your bbpress installation, you might accept losing a few posts. But if you´re trying to build a community, you must learn to value each post, each member makes.

    Awesome ck, any updates yet?

    Also, in the mean time, I am blocking each new (spam) member and marking them BOZO.

    Am I waisting my time doing this?

    Yes I am seeing them defeat Human Test too.

    I will push an update to the svn tonight (Friday) so keep an eye out for a version update.

    I’ve just started getting massive spam the last two days as well. I’ve been using reCAPTCHA and it seemed to be working up until recently. I can’t seem to use akismet, I don’t even see it in the list of plugins for my bbpress.

    Does anyone know of some type of plugin that would require admin approval for posts with links in them? That would go a long way for me.

    I’ve got this exact problem too with the type of gmail accounts mentioned above. Trouble is, I am an admin of a forum without any FTP access (the designer went AWOL) so I have no way of installing plugins to the directory.

    As a temporary measure, I have used the already-installed Register Plus plugin to enforce admin authorisation of every new member.

    Yet despite implementing it last night, spammers are still able to register and post. Anyone know why this might be? The plugin is listed as active.

    @Ramiuz – That’s not true at all.

    Don´t listen to anyone reccomending Akisment for BBpress.

    It´s messed up, and not made for forums. Don´t use it.

    There is no twitterfeed on my forum and I have the problem.

    I DO know this started 2 days ago and is getting worse by the minute.

    About a week ago I added a twitterfeed to my forum.

    Did that cause these problems?

    I wonder what the rules for spam are. Sometimes a regular vistors post is caught by Akismet.

    Captcha’s are a waste of time as so many of them have been hacked/cracked. Plus regular people hate them.

    I’ve found that the following system worked well:

    Akismet

    My update to an old plugin (not yet redone for bbPress) which restricts the number of links, and characters that people can post (until they have x posts).

    Plus user orientated report & hide spam – ie, if a post gets x reports it is hidden and marked for moderators to review.

    So even if spam gets through, users can quickly help mop things up. but I don’t worry about people signing up at all.

    The problem is an ongoing one that even Matt has blogged about in recent past. Part of the reason they’re able to pass the human test it because they might be humans registering real accounts and making real posts. WordPress.org, bbPress.org, and BuddyPress.org all suffer from a similar problem. I’m about sick of it though. :)

    Human test is not good enough no more.

    This EXACT question and problem has been raised many times here the last months.

    The best answer I can give you, which worked for me, is to combine Project Honey Pot, No Forum Spam, and reCaptcha.

    Disable Human Test when using those three.

    Email addresses from user are always gmail

    And lo.tso.fun.nyd.ots in the address before the @ — the same idiots spamming at me. And I changed the Human Test plugin code a little to get a larger range of numbers for the little addition. So a simple editing of the plugin may not work.

    Email addresses from user are always gmail.

    I am having the same problem. It is the same spammer or technique as newform and just started a few hours ago.

    Try contacting her, or try changing something in the code so that the bots will be stopped once again.

    Either way, spam will always be there.

    My forum (http://www.nbascoreboard.net/forums) runs ‘Akismet’ and ‘Human Test for bbPress’ plugins. This prevents most spam. However, I’m having an issue where a spammer is making posts (‘xnpn’ plugin tells me so) but these posts don’t show up under ‘Topics’ or ‘Posts’ in my bbPress Dashboard.

    The only evidence is the tag cloud on the right includes the tags. But then when I click the tag, I still don’t see the post. Have a look at the site linked above.

    The spammer does show up as a User, but the profile doesn’t show any topics or replies. How can I combat this problem?

    Thanks.
