BuddyPress.org

i’ve moved it in mu-plugins/… but where I configure? menu in the wp-admin is not there … help me please

I have it installed as a site-wide plugin in /mu-plugins/. Works well with signup process. I have not really experimented with the blog comments aspect though. Perhaps I need to look into this a little more.

i’ve the same problem… i’ve installed recaptcha with plugins installer, enabled, configured but it doesn’t show in the registration page domain.tld/register any ideas?

thanks!

Hi DJPual-

I’m currently using (with success) the reCaptcha plugin on a dev site. I used hints from these two BP forum threads:

I hope that helps!

A number of years ago I offered email to my users and in the end there were thousands of people using my servers for email, including spam bots.

Here is the biggest problem that I faced.

As there was so much ‘spam’ coming from my domains, I was blacklisted on aol, and yahoo, and a few others. To this day, I still cannot use those domains to send email to aol etc…. Once blacklisted, it seems to be forever.

While I think the idea is cool, I cannot see a reason that I would ever offer email to my users other than my admins/moderators for internal communication.

just my 2cents

it works now, it will be complete asap

when is your no-spam plugin scheduled to be complete?

Im currently using wp-captcha, but would like to beef-up my spam protection

@anointed that’s what wp_nonce does

i suggest to use bpdev nospam (it include the captcha of wpmudev integrated with bp)

wpmudev has an anti spam plugin for signup form. Also Donncha has another plugin for wpmu and comments.

I had a problem with spam without reCaptcha

reCaptcha kills spam bots and I have no more spam.

Good luck

I had an idea of another way to combat the constant comment spam and registrations from bots, though I don\’t know if it would work.

As the bots don\’t read the page like humans do, they just search for and find the forums to fill in, brings up an interesting idea.

What about using \’hidden\’ fields that are not displayed on the screen itself.

The idea being that if data is input into the field it could not possibly be a human, so we then know to \’not activate\’ or error out the comment/registration etc…

The ‘auto spam bot programs’ that I have come across all look for specific fields etc. We could do something like name the hidden field ‘password’ etc, so the bot thinks it’s legit, but it’s not.

Does anyone know if the bots are \’smart enough\’ to figure this out and get around it?

don’t worry BPDEV NoSpam is included

i’ve to update the site asap

Does Aksimet not work with WPMU?

I’m not able to find it. Download contains only following:

Core 0.3b

Admin 0.3b

AutoSuggest 0.3b

Search 0.3b

Theme 0.3b

Widgets 0.3b

Flickr 0.3b

YouTube 0.3b

Group Extra 0.3b

TinyMCE 0.3b

I’ve written the bpdev-nospam, that is included in bpdev plugins http://bp-dev.org/download

it’s not complete, but it filters spams account, and wire content.

use bpdev nospam for that

http://bp-dev.org/download

it’s still in development but it works

Roger that fn I wrote was 3 months old. Things have changed in bp. All you need to do is add a filter to change the logo now.

Sorry for the late reponse. Your post got ‘spammed’ by akismet because of number of links in the post. The plugins in /mu-plugins don’t need a plugin header like that. Your code will translate better in the forums with backticks before and after.

Having thought about it more – my vote would be another blog on this site.

For a few reasons:

1. People can use the same login, and therefore comment without being spammed or moderated.

2. We can promote regular BuddyPress community members to \”snippit creator\” status.

3. We can track all the snippets in activity streams.

4. We get nice buddypress.org permalinks for every snippet.

5. RSS.

Let me try and answer this diplomatically because this seems like spam without being spam to me…

BuddyPress isn’t Facebook, and it really doesn’t have any intentions of trying to imitate it. That’s up to an audience of GPL contributors to try and mold and shape it into that, if they so choose.

BuddyPress also has a test development site already, to flex its muscles and allow people to use it as they like. testbp.org.

There are unlimited domains available, with unlimited hosting and bandwidth options. None of what you’re offering really has anything to do with BuddyPress other than using it for potential profit. Contributing a domain that specializes in spreading bad news isn’t any part of Automattic’s roadmap that I’ve seen, so don’t count on getting any hosting.

If what you’re doing is offering a business opportunity to specific individuals, you should contact them privately and see if they’re interested.

(I’m locking this for now. If any other staff feels like re-opening it for discussion, go for it. My gut tells me this isn’t what the forums here are for.)
