I’m having an issue where trusted users keep having their posts put into a pending status, probably because of having several links. Is there any kind of whitelisting available to allow trusted users to post freely? I looked around for plugins to handle it but didn’t see anything.

presume you are using askimet as your spam filter, in which case 3 links and it’s pending !

Ah, I didn’t realize it was Akismet doing that rather than bbPress itself.

There was a plugin for the old bbPress and WordPress that disabled Akismet checking for certain user roles. I’ll have to see if I can adapt the WordPress part of that to work for the new bbPress posting instead of just WordPress comments.

Here is the old plugin for reference of anyone following along.

And here is a modified version that disabled checking for users who have been registered for a certain time.

@douglsmith – hey thanks for that, and if you get it working, let us know !

good find on the plugin Doug this is something that might be pretty useful if hooked up to work with the newest version of bbPress.
