Ha… love this idea.
I was wondering if it’s something that could be added to the Achievements plug-in, too, but I hadn’t seen this one, so having a look.

@Ambient_Girl Curious how you fare with the anti-spam stuff… trying to compare notes there, for sure. I hope we get a group going — at least the thorough advice in that really huge thread seems promising.

  I’ve tried EVERYTHING to stop spammers from signing up constantly. Last Friday I must have had to delete at least 12. I went into my settings and disabled new members being able to create blogs upon sign up and I have not had any spammers sign up with me since. I also installed WPBan and posted all their IP’s in there, here’s hoping this issue…[Read more]

Yeah, I’m giving Humanity a try — seems to be quite effective.

There’s a big thread here:

@adam320 Humanity is looking really brilliant. Trying to put together a solid anti-spam regimen for open signups on our site; I’ll let you know what the course of action / results are like.

Terrific work; thanks for contributing this!

Incidentally, I still like the idea of getting folks together in a BP Group to attack the issue. I had suggested starting such a group on an IRC chat a few weeks ago, but I see now that there *is* a (small) group someone had set up. If people are interested, we can use that. […]

So, the massive thread here largely covers current progress with spam:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-spam/?topic_page=6&num=15

But I wonder if isn’t a good idea to get this group going again for additional help, and to consolidate information / compare notes? (I had actually promised on…[Read more]

jwack – since you had such trouble with this even after taking some measures, what was the final regimen you installed for blocking spam?

Hi Jeff, I can’t make the chat Wednesday as I’m going to be on a plane between London and Hamburg, but I wanted to add to this: 1. wp-recaptcha — I’m working with the developer of this plug-in so that we have one fork that works everywhere, BP included. Given that this is the topic, […]

Peter Kirn posted on the forum topic fyi: WP-reCAPTCHA works fine with BuddyPress in the group Third Party Components & Plugins: 14 years, 6 months ago

@r-a-y: Excellent. Let me refactor the code accordingly, as I think we’re in agreement that the ultimate goal is to do one wp-recaptcha that works everywhere. I need to actually go off the new 3.0 codebase from Blaenk, anyway; won’t be hard to do that. Once I have a new version up, I’ll have it in […]
