When a new version of BuddyPress is released and you decide to upgrade, you’ll lose all of the changes you’ve made to BuddyPress core files. Poedit enables you to change labels, URLs and text without editing any BuddyPress core files so you are free to upgrade painlessly each time a new version of the software is released.

I think it would be useful on some situations. If you are knowledgeable about how to approach it with coding then it is very feasible.

@synaptic
Nice snippets is this your site? I think it should also include the honeypot method which I made a very small plugin with here: https://github.com/bphelp/bp-spam-killer
You could easily use those functions in bp-custom.php etc. I am also liking BuddyDev’s BuddyPress Rate Limit User Activity plugin which provides activity stream…[Read more]

@synaptic Thank you. They will be nuked 🙂

BuddyPress Registration Options is similar to this idea but it only allows a user to fill out their profile and upload an avatar until the admin approves their account.

@sooskriszta I agree that the plugin is a terrible idea. Throttling is one thing (telling the user “hey slow down a bit”) but setting an absolute limit for the number of friendships goes against the concept of a community.

Going back to the ORIGINAL point of this topic, I said I will add throttling to the activity page and the friendship…[Read more]

Correct pre BP 1.7 it came bundled, and as of 1.7+ bbpress is separate. Yes you can have group forums, site-wide forums, or both. See the link @synaptic provided.

@biggerplay
Doesn’t matter if you read 100 articles or 1000 articles if the information is outdated. I would take @modemlooper ‘s and @synaptic ‘s advice. Most likely things have changed a lot since the articles you read. It pays to stay on top of things with BP and the best way to do that is reading as much info in the blog, documentation/codex…[Read more]

@synaptic Will do asap, hopefully we’ll at least have Activity flooding control for Buddypress 1.8

Thank you @synaptic, added your idea at BP Devel

@bphelp Crossing fingers that BP gets accepted GSoC 2013. Crossing fingers again that when that happens, one of the students will take on ideas we’re rooting for […]

@synaptic I’m the writer of the Hosting recommendation on BP-Tricks, and you bring up some fair points. I do mention in the article that with the right knowledge you COULD set up something cheaper using a […]

@synaptic as said before i would certainly agree that visitors is not the best way to gauge usage but it is the industry standard for this kind of hosting. These hosts are not simply slapping a few plugins on and […]

@synaptic I picked up on what @ubernaut meant and his English is pretty good 🙂  I might have ended sentences with a question mark though.

As for the plugin, no nothing exists as far as I’m aware, you will […]
