Hi everyone,
unfortunately there’s no way to moderate incoming user registrations, so I was wondering how else I can solve this problem. I would like to be able to control who joins my community to avoid fakers and spammers. Furthermore I will turn off user registrations and add an application form instead and also remove the “sign up” part, so that only ppl can log in.
The next problem would be the user profiles, b/c they are visible to all visitors. Is there any way to make it visible to logged users only? I already require very little info but still I would not want everyone to see my profile.
I really would appreciate any further ideas.

Topic: Fighting Splogs
Hi everybody
I know this is kind of an endless topic – at least it seems so, when I read the threads over at mu.wordpress.org…
My questions is the following – could it be, that some plugins do not work with buddypress, because it is not using the wp-signup.php?
That is what I tried:
– rename or even delete the wp-signup.php…
– Using a captcha on my registration page (register.php)
– I installed the hashcash plugin with signup-protection activated (without aksimnet), but it seems, that it doesn’t do anything – I still get spam registrations.
Any ideas? It is very anoying…!
I post this here, because I think this is just a great community of helpers!!!
Hi
I have setup buddpress and I have noticed that I have had 3 users zhanglingjuan113
zhanglingjuan114 and zhanglingjuan115. I find it strange that this name can be used by 3 different people. Is this a spambot because when I google it I see it comes up with some other buddypress installations.
Topic: IE6 and 7 problem
Hi: I installed a plugin called wp-greet (http://www.tuxlog.de/wordpress/2008/wp-greet-documentation-english/) – the plugin works great on all browsers except IE 6 and 7. Strangly the plugin designers and others have no problem with IE compatibility and so I seem to be the only one having a problem. Essentially the “preview – send – reset” buttons are not responsive both before and after I installed spam protection. The link to the page is http://tatazara.com/cards/
Thanks for any feedback

I’ve been out of the forum loop for a bit, but wanted to run this by the buddypress experts before I post bugs in the trac. My site has been getting some decent activity, so I am using buddypress on a daily basis now. Here are some bugs that I have found that happen on a routine basis. Can someone let me know if these have already been addressed? I’ve done my best to search trac, and haven’t found them.
I’m running buddypress 1.0.0, and wpmu 2.7.1 on my production site. (i know 1.0.3 and 2.8.4a exists, just not ready for it in production)
Issues:
#1) When a new users signs up, then I delete them as site admin (spam user), the friends activity feed isn’t cleaned up upon deletion of account (i use the welcome pack with default friends)
#2) When I go to invite users to a group, some names are duplicated allowing me to send an invite to them twice
#3) When I go into a group, then click “See All »” members, then page “2”, the user ID partially shows up to the left of the button “add friend”
#4) I just now noticed that all these people are supposed to be my friend by default, because of the welcome pack plugin, but they all say “add friend” on page 2 and beyond.
#5) When I invite a friend to a group, and they click deny, later when I go back to invite new members again, sometimes the deny folks will show back up again. i would think that since they denied my request, when I go to invite more users, they wouldn’t show up again.
#6) The number of group members will not change to the correct # of members unless you click on the group in the groups widget. (this might be by design)
I know this is a lot, but I hope it helps make buddypress better!
Okay, I’m having a weird issue. I have some users who when they sign up for an account on my buddypress site never get a confirmation email. And the weird thing is, it is only with people who use verizon.net email addresses. Also, they can’t even find it in their spam folders. Has anyone ever heard of a problem like this? I’m stumped.
The last 12hrs have been nothing but disappointment in regards to the themes listed on BuddyPress. I don’t know if they are spam, poor coding or both.
I created a new install with WPMU 2.8.2 and BP 1.0.3. Tried the Avenue K9 theme, the Facebuddy theme and the Solitude theme. All of them failed to work properly or display accurately. In most cases, they throw an error when select various menu items; I tired of trying to figure out why, figuring that if a simple side-by-side test against the default theme wasn’t done by the developer, it’s likely I’ll find even more things wrong.
I’m willing to pay for decent themes, but I expected the same level of quality contributions that WordPress is afforded.
Has anyone found any themes that work 100% out-of-the-box?
