ModeratorLeave BuddyPress Active, deactivate all other plugins, see that these will not be there, then re-active the plugins one by one till you find the one that is marking the users as spammers.

ParticipantHi
Thank you for the quick response.
The question is which plugin?
I tried deactivating a couple starting with Aksimet and when I reached bbforum & buddypress & deactivated both: the pink background of the “Spammer” user disappeared, as well as the link “Extended”. They both do not reappear with bbforum activated. (See screenshot)
That made me assume it’s Buddypress that’s responsible for this pink background and the Extended link.
Moreover it’s under “Extended” edit of User on “wp-admin/users.php”, that one gets the status shown and where one can change from Spammer to Active, which will not work.So just wondering … Or may be I’m just overlooking something obvious?
Regards

ModeratorBuddyPress does not mark users as spammers, it must be some other plugin that’s doing that

ParticipantI need to add, Wordfence is set to immediately block non-existent usernames and this particular user is actually there. Checked the spelling several times, correct password! So could it be Wordfence takes a cue from this Buddypress Spammer status business?
Anyway, the question is how does the admin remove another admin or other user from spammer status?June 13, 2018 at 4:38 pm #274384In reply to: Forum subscribe isuue

Keymaster@shanebp – I saw that a couple of your forum posts in this thread were in the spam filter. I just approved your latest post.

KeymasterIf you’ve already tried the solutions in this thread:
Then, here are a couple of other possible solutions:
1) Remove the “Reply-To” email address from BuddyPress emails.
By default, BuddyPress adds a “Reply-To” email header to each BuddyPress email containing the admin user’s email address.
I’m guessing email senders might have problems with this because the “From” email address and the “Reply-To” email address could use different domains. Email senders might think this is spammy and would reject the email. Just a guess. You’d have to look in your email logs to confirm.
Anyway, here’s a code snippet you can try in your theme’s
functions.phpor in wp-content/bp-custom.php:add_filter( 'bp_email_set_reply_to', function( $retval, $email_address ) { // Wipe out Reply-to email header if it matches the admin email address. if ( bp_get_option( 'admin_email' ) === $email_address ) { $retval = new BP_Email_Recipient( '' ); } return $retval; }, 10, 2 );2) Try setting a different “From” email address
If you are having problems sending any email on your WordPress install, you might have to set the “From” email address to one that contains your website domain.
There are a few plugins that can do this. Here are a couple:
3) Try using a WordPress email SMTP plugin
If all the above fail, try a SMTP email plugin:

Please let me know if either of the solutions work.

ParticipantI did deactivate all the plugins aside from BP and it had messed something up. After reactivating everything, I think I had to save my permalinks again. It’s been a couple of months, but something messed up that I had to fix after reactivating everything.
Here’s how the mess began. I was getting a ton of spam users. A guy who runs a wordpress group told me to change the url from “register” to something else. I changed http://starwarscards.net/register to http://starwarscards.net/registerSWC and everything went downhill from there. So, I changed it back, saved my permalinks… still not working. I then deleted the register page, created a new one, saved my permalinks…and it was working about a month ago when I tested it, but I just got an email yesterday from someone who had the activation link error 🙁

ModeratorMy powers don’t extend that far – can’t look at rejected posts, I can say tere is automatic spam link checking and if it’s on the blacklist it will disappear without a trace.

Participant@venutius I have another problem, I try to create new topic to describe this but when I click button “Submit” topic not created. Maybe topic is in spam because I add photo link. Can you check it?

Participant@vapvarun Hey! Thanks for the reply!
So I disabled the akismet scan and both the spam link and the button vanished. I’m scampering through the Akismet plugin folder to see if I’m missing something…no luck so far. I still want there to be one spam button but they’re conjoined at the moment and it’s really annoying.
Any ideas?

ParticipantHi,
I was having the same issue, It turns out, the LINK that is sent in the email IS the activation key.
The text for the activation link shows https://mysite.com/register/yxyxyxyxyxyxyxyx/
So I believe when the user lands at the activation page, the activation link is supposed to be auto populated. maybe there is a script or a listener on the page waiting for the activation link.
I think maybe due to the spam protector, the hyperlink is encrypted or screwed up, which keeps the “activation page” from listening for the key (which it would normally auto-populate)
I dont know if this is just an outlook issue, i haven’t tested it anyfurther. nor do i know if its an email server issue.
This first test user, the activation link was sent from a wordpress generated email (not tied to smtp or anything) i had to dig the email out of my spam.
so i’ll register the bbpress with an actual smtp email, and send to a gmail, and a yahoo..
and see if it auto populates the activation key field.long story short, the activation link is in the url of the email link (with exception for mysite.com/register/)

ParticipantHi
This is how it happened. We got an email from registered members that they are being spam. Another member was sending them SPAM messages.
The mail sent to them contained the name of the member so we searched for it. We also got the spammer’s account username and link by checking the affected members messages directly under their profile page on the frontend. The spammer has a profile page already. However, the username could not be found in the users section of the backend.
Then we checked users that have not activated their account or received the activation email through a plugin named Unconfirmed.
That was when we found the spammer info meaning the spammer has not activated his/her account yet but is already interacting with the community.
That I cannot explain why it happened. It seems even though the user has not activated his/her account, he/she is already recognized by buddypress.Regards

ParticipantHi,
I’m reading lots of posts that are a 18 mo’s to more than two years old. So I thought to re-ask the question, hoping for some more current advice.
How can I stop Spam Users from registering?
WordPress 4.9.6 running Idyllic theme.
BuddyPress Version 2.9.4
Site https://insideouthope.orgWhat’s the plugin, combination of them or other treatment we can deploy that will best insulate our real community from vermin?
My inclination is to blacklist/whitelist domains somehow.
Thanks in advance for your considered response(s).

ParticipantSorted using the code from :https://buddypress.org/support/topic/private-message-friends-only/
One question will the messages still be stored in the database even if the message isnt sent? I dont want these spammers filling up my database with junk..
🙂

ParticipantThank you for replying. I can’t tell you how it happened because I do not have a clue, but I am no longer seeing the “has been marked as a spammer” in the extended profile for any of our users. I checked every one of them manually. Perhaps it was actually deleting UltimateMember (set to remove all data on delete) and its related files that did it, but everything appears to be working as it should now.
Thank you again!

Participant@otkwebmaster let me know if you are using any plugin for spam detection or it’s displaying spammer inside users extended profile?

ParticipantOnce I restored the site back to its original state, I thought “ok maybe I have to install buddypress BEFORE removing Ultimate Member. So I did, created brand new pages for the buddy press pages and still all the users including me, were marked as spammers..
I am confused..

ModeratorWhich plugins are you talking about? Some plugins can work for years after the last update.
I recommend moderating new sign ups using BP Registration Options and coupling that with required registration fields that allow you to judge who is requesting signup. ( “About me” for example, spammers typically fill this with spam, so a dead giveaway, “location” is another one, spammers rarely declare their location to be that reflected in their IP address).

Participant@jgflores
As per my understanding— BuddyPress does not save any data related to IP address inside cookies.
— All the profile fields which you have created for your users are kept inside your WordPress database only, not linked to any 3rd party application. If you are using Akismet plugin for spam protection for BuddyPress, they will check logged in member IP address to cross check with their spammer’s database log, again that’s not the BuddyPress thing.April 15, 2018 at 12:00 pm #272089In reply to: Buddypress notifications

KeymasterNot sure. It might be getting blocked on delivery by spam filters, perhaps due to the content of the email.
As an experiment, you could try editing that email type in the wp-admin and removing all the default words and text and links (after making a backup of this email). Enter some “testing” text of your choice, and then see if that gets delivered.
