BuddyPress.org

So far, every single spam-fighting technique I have tried for BP has failed. My next step is to modify Invisible Defender to work better with BuddyPress. If you use Invisible Defender in an attempt to stop BP spam/splog registrations, you may want to add these lines to your invisible-defender.php file:

//Protect Buddypress register form

add_action( 'bp_before_registration_submit_buttons', array( &$this, 'add_hidden_fields' ) );

add_action( 'bp_signup_validate', array( &$this, 'bp_registration' ), 10, 0 );

Add them right above this:

//Protect Buddypress register form

I’m trying to stay positive and constructive here, but my BuddyPress install is so overrun with spam that it’s essentially becoming unusable.
