    It seems that there’s issues with spam being sent to people on buddypress.org. I recall receiving spam on this site before. Isn’t there something that we can build into BP to counter this kind of spam? Maybe a spam report button?

    The user http://buddypress.org/community/members/anabel4you/ just sent me this spam message:

    Please reply back with my email (anabel.awaza01 @yahoo.co.uk)
    Dearest,
    How are you over there?
    I know that you would be excited for the fact that you do not know who is writing.
    Actually my name is Mis. Anabel Awaza,Please my dear i will like us to hold a good long time relationship with real love.and I have something very important that I need to share with you. I am very serious; I shall tell you more about myself and send you my picture in my next mail.please reply back with my email address (anabel.awaza01 @yahoo.co.uk)
    Hoping to hear from you soonest.
    Yours Anabel.

    Currently only two people on this site can ban spammers; JJJ and Andy Peatling, and both are at Wordcamp SF this weekend.

    Ray, Jeff and I will try to remain on top of things and we’ve already reported this to the guys, so we’re just waiting for them to check their email when they get a chance :)

    My vote is for a report spam button. When any action (activity, forum post, message etc) by a user is marked as spam, an admin should be notified. If more than x actions within x time of the user are marked a spam, the user account is locked until the admin is able to review the offending account.

    This same spammer showed up on my site today. It seems to me a bot figured out how to hack BP.

    And the spamming continues. Anyone else getting spammed?

    xspringe,
    There is someone doing a Google Summer of Code project which is working on a plugin for BP that will report objectionable content. I expect spam will be part of the objectionable content that can/will be reported with that plugin. You can support his efforts: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-moderation/
