I have the same problem. I tried Human Test and bb-NoSpamUser and they didn’t work properly. I don’t want to try Akisment because it makes to many faults and blocks real users.
I just installed reCaptcha. I’ll let you know if it works.

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.

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?

Hi all, just installed locally on a XAMPP install. using Latest version of Google Chrome. I only recieved one error when installing: “Key master email not sent!”. I assume this is because my local site has not been set up for email? When I navigate to my forum http://localhost/mysite/forums, I am able to browse my first topic, however when I login, I get a blank page with two warnings and 4 deprecated messages:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:xampphtdocsmysiteforumsbb-settings.php:186) in C:xampphtdocsmysiteforumsbb-adminincludesclass.bb-install.php on line 390
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:xampphtdocsmysiteforumsbb-settings.php:186) in C:xampphtdocsmysiteforumsbb-includesfunctions.bb-core.php on line 1101
I assume that this is a PHP config issue, any ideas?
BTW: I followed this guide: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/idiots-guide-to-installing
I just started a new forum with bbpress 1.0.2. Akismet is catching spam and deleting the posts but the tags left by the spammers don’t get deleted.
So I had a couple of questions: first, is this a common problem and second, is there a way round it?
I’ve just installed the Human Test plug-in which will hopefully keep the bots off the forum but still won’t keep any human spammers away.
Thanks for any assistance.
hey guys,
i wonder if it’s possible to link to the LATEST Post by any user in any forum on the frontpage of my forum. if i click it i don’t want to simply link to the forum where the latest post was written in but link to the post itself with the hash-value
e.g. myforum.com/topic.php?id=1&replies=33#post-40
how can i do that! thank you for your help!
I don´t know if they are spambots or human spammers, but they are registering at a rate of every day now. And creating senseless topics used ford mustangs and stuff.
They are normally registered on Gmail with emails like this:
c.am.e.ron.n.e.dic.iml.i.n.e.r@gmail.com
farl.eyd.a.rr.i.ck@gmail.com
I do not run Akismet, because it messes things up, but I do run the plugin Human Test. So they are getting past that. But since they are so very similiar in their postings, names and email adresses, I assume they are bots.
If I could manually accept all registered users before they could post, this would not happen. But what can I do to prevent them from spamming my forum. Whatever they are?
I do have a test version online, I’ll update it to the latest version sometime over the weekend.
It would be great if JJJ and team could start a test site where the latest plug-in version was installed. It would make it easier for this group to pound on it and help bug test the code.
Absolutely! I’m quite uneasy around all of these development versions, but I would really like to lend a hand by testing whatever I can.
It’s not really at that stage yet. personally I prefer to test locally.
Anyone has a demo of the plugin running in a website…

We updated from 0.9.0.2 to 1.0.2 bechet. Tags worked fine before the update occured. We do have a custom theme installed and tags worked fine with it installed before the update.
Just reverted to the default theme, and tags are not deleting.
Can you give more detail into what you mean by changes modifying core bbpress files? please and thanks 
Thank you for helping me out so far, and providing tips on how to get better support. I apologize that I’m testy. I’ll be more patient.

First off, I’d really like someone to answer me. I’m getting tired of creating threads and nobody seems to have the answer, or doesn’t care about helping out. Unless I’m being spammed. And if that is the case, why. I don’t deserve to be spammed.
Second. We upgraded to the latest version. Topic tags no longer work. We have tried several ways to fix the problem and it still wont fix the problem.
We have tried several ways of removing the tags.
We do not want tags at all. People are posting obscene, hateful content into them. My next step is to have tag history installed, and have those users banned. But to prevent that rash action I want to know. Is there a permanent and well known solution to removing topic tags.
If it makes no sense to you, why post a reply?
Our server is on one of the largest corporate web hosts in the world, Peer One. They could resolve it, but professionally managed servers incur some fees when we have to have them go in.
Somebody must have written the script to create the folders, and done so without the correct user auth. I see this has been discussed on this forum in regards to others’ plugins. It appears to be the same issue.
My thought was that I’m not alone in having this issue with the current install, so maybe it would make sense to someone. Or perhaps they already wrote an uninstall script for it to test on a clean server.
Apparently many users had old copies of bbPress required manual creation of those folders. Thus, when installing a new version, the problem would not manifest itself.

i use atathulpa as well, but my site is not live yet. I am just switching it over to the child theme when testing the plug-in.
though topics and posts are showing up as 0 count, the posts are coming up in my forum, i believe, that they are working on this (i saw the code in an earlier post.)
@rich- i am in communication with the sharedaddy people over the plugin, it was mostly ironically funny, because i am finding the sharedaddy to be a bit of curse everywhere.
overall, as i do use atahualpa for my site, i will probably need to move to a different forum platform all together, or use bbpress stand alone. i wonder if the stand alone will continue to be worked on once the plug-in is official.
however, as i have time, i am willing to experiment a bit, because i feel that bbpress is worth the investment.
Hi,
I’ve just started to test bbpress plug-in on a brand new website :
http://windows-mobile.fr
I installed, activated and created a new forum and a new topic inside this forum.
My problem :
http://windows-mobile.fr/forum >>> 404
http://windows-mobile.fr/topic/test1 >>> 404
(it redirects to http://windows-mobile.fr because of the WP plugin ‘link juice keeper’)
When I check my dashboard I can see :
Forum : test
Topics : 0
Replies : 0
I guess this is the problem. However I don’t understand it because when I look at the topic page it’s correctly linked with its parent forum. Am I just a stupid froggy or what ? 
I’m using WP 3.0.1
My theme : Atahualpa Theme by BytesForAll
Any other info needed ?
Thanks for helping !
Best regards to all of you people,
Laurent
