OK…. I think I know the problem – members who do not click on the activation link will be marked as spammers automatically!
There is just one problem – when I test-registered with one of my email addresses (I used gmail) – gmail automatically trashed the confirmation email AND puts a big red warning sign that said the message was potentially a phishing email.
NO WONDER… my users are probably thinking that it was a fake email or a phishing email IF they even see the confirmation email at all.
Is this an issue that is being brought to attention with buddypress developers?
thanks – but I am not on MU – I am on a regular wordpress v. 2.9.2 using the buddypress plug-in.
The same thing is happening for another one of my sites where I am using a buddypress plug-in for wordpress 2.9.2. That new user was marked as a spammer even though she is definitely not one!
