i think that these topics should be discussed in a guide for users in the codex.

How to Moderate in bbPress
How to Deal with SPAM
SEO and bbPress
Common Mistakes to Avoid

How to Moderate is for users who are brand new to dealing with a forum, and are not sure how to handle it.

Dealing with SPAM will definitely be useful because alot of users make topics about how to handle it.

SEO and bbPress , there is some topics about this subject and help optimizing it would be quite useful.

Common mistakes is useful too so that users know what not to do.

what do you guys think??

yeah i just saw that topic , its crazy that there was an automated spam attack going on.

i wonder what could of caused the massive attack??

[Stephen Edgar]

Just like any normal spam attack, automated scripting, because the codex was “open” to anyone with a wordpress.org account that was all that was needed to create (or edit) any pages on the codex 🙁

I’ll make sure we add yourself to that said list of users with permissions though 🙂
