ok i’ll add that to bpdev nospam, cool tips andy

DJPaul,

i’ve written a plugin that filter spam and spam registrations with the captcha,

it’s BPDEV NoSpam

thank you DJPaul now works fine!

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

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.
