Some users are getting their posts and new topics flagged in my bbPress/Wordpress site as spam. They are long-time contributors with valid and thoughtful comments. It seems that bbPress occasionally gets too aggressive flagging valid posts as spam. I am running the latest bbPress (2.5.10) and WordPress (4.5.3) versions. Is there anyway to correct this situation?

Hi Packzap,

Are you by any means running Akismet, or another anti-spam plugin? Akismet can actively prevent spam in bbpress, but does so kinda aggressively.

Yes, running Akismet. It does a great job of flagging WordPress spam posts. I did not realize that apparently Akismet also flags bbPress forum topics and replies, putting them in “spam” sections. I will now keep an eye on those areas.
