oh yes, there is an entire industry in especially central Asian countries (Bangladesh is huge) where halls of people solve captcha’s for $1 per 1000-5000 captchas.

Though I am in favour of having spammers employ and pay poor people in Asia, I hate spam even more and have abolished all captchas from my site as still too many people cannot read them, so it is chasing people away. And, as the link above proves, they do not help anyway.
@ Peter – sure certainly not, but each incoming door need to be monitored
since i use the trick i have no more splogs or spammer registering !
wp-ban works nice, invisible defender also and wp-spamfree did correctly his work too….
a little additionnal htaccess hack and the wp-login file hack make things going right for me.
I put some emails in the wp ban admin but i don’t know if this works correctly.
I didn’t use captcha or similar techniques.
My spammers all sign up with .info email addresses. Is there any way to just block all .info?
Legitimate members should use normal .com emails, like normal people.
How can I disallow ordinary users to create a group?
I’d like that only the admins or moderators are able to create a group. The reason is that I want to define for each category in the forum a standard group. Like this I can avoid spam groups and spam forums or categories.

Ok then. Jeff, is it OK if I repost my question in the missing linked-to-thread? I don’t want to spam the troubleshooting board without asking. Thanks.

I tried to change the permalink structure but the result is a blank page. I then tried to erase the .htaccess and change the permalink with no result. (It “seems” the .htaccess is not taken into account ?)
Thanks for your help

Can you remove it from buddypress.org?
Some users are spamming us all, with wire messages. I’d like to be in the group, but this makes me think I should not belong to any groups on buddypress.org as the more I join, the more chances I get wire spams.
