Got my first spam post today on my new BBpress forum. So Akismet does not look at posts? How do you manage spam on a BBpress forum?

bbPress 1.0.x or 2.0?

[@spicynodes Member 13 years, 2 months ago]

I’d also appreciate a run-down on BBPress2 anti-spam measures.

In my forum, I prefer not to require users to make accounts.

We allow anonymous comments in our blog, and Akismet blocks all the spams; but our bbpress is getting flooded with bogus topics and replies.

What about adding a field to post requirements. Perhaps requiring them to do a simple math formula prior to posting?

Ie:

Name

Email

Please prove that you are human: 1+5=

Is this an option?

justin, there is a wordpress plugin, Math Comment Spam Protection:

http://sw-guide.de/wordpress/plugins/math-comment-spam-protection/

which i *think* might be almost reasonable for a non-programmer (like me) to extend to bbpress 2 for anonymous posters. what appears to be missing in bbpress (at least i can’t find it) is a filter hook analogous to ‘preprocess_comment’ for bbpress topics and replies.

has anyone here come up with a non-captcha based solution to allow anonymous posting without being overrun with spam?
