Hey

I am using bbpress with my website and since a long time I am getting weird users and names like this one for example
http://www.techknowledgic.com/forums/users/uzjlonatz/

I was getting like 1 new weird user everyday but yesterday I got more than 120 users and all have weird names and last time one of them wrote a post in my forum it almost didn’t have any links but just weird characteristics and letters

so is that a robot or real people trying to get my website down? because not always I see them in my stats like new statcounter visitors and they are stealth

knowing that I am using Akismet but it’s not working

so please help me

Thanks

I am so sorry for bumping but it’s really bothering me that issue that’s why i asked again here and i have disabled the registration so I lost many users and the second I enabled it again I got around 5 spam users in few minutes only

Thanks

I had the same problem and I have no answer. WP Captcha-Free is a wonderful plugin for WordPress blogs and keeps my blog spam-free, but I don’t know if it works for bbpress.
