ParticipantPlease don’t give me any credit for the honeypot idea – I got that one from someone else (I don’t remember who or where) and I probably almost completely copied the code as well…
The 4th method (jquery, cookies and the “10 second rule”) is, as I indicated, torn from an existing project and strung back together in a way that (despite not being tested) is intended to work. It probably doesn’t at this juncture 🙂
Let me know how you went about it and what’s happening, and I’ll try to help you get it working. It seems (today) to be the killer method for curbing the spam 😉
Cheers,

Hi, I used your 3rd method registration honeypot to create a small plugin. I don’t really know how to test its effectiveness but here is a link for anyone that is adventurous and would like to give feedback to that effect:
https://github.com/bphelp/bp-spam-killer
Credit goes to @mattt55 for the code and idea.
I could not get the 4th method using jQuery to work. It always sends every user to the spam-prevention page. If you can give more detail as to how to get this working I would like to use both methods in one plugin for better spam registration prevention. Thanks!May 17, 2013 at 3:12 am #164117In reply to: Anti-spam techniques…

Participantyou should be fine, there are a few differences in the way things work, namely network user registration as opposed to single site registration (users are not automatically added to the root site), making sure your plugins are multisite ready/compatible. All in all you should not have any difficulty unless your mods are things that are relating to network functions (not very likely i don’t think). Do be prepared for the spammers and sploggers to step up their game i implemented wangguard at the same time i switched our site from single to multi.

Participant@hnla
Well said Hugo! It also seems to me that if it was checked by default it would make it even easier for spam bots to compromise a site.May 9, 2013 at 8:20 am #163629smartmwp
ParticipantHi bp-help,
Thanks so much for replying! My default setting was contributor (roles – add/edit posts, participate in forums, and BP activity). Because of spams I changed it to Subscriber (Only BP activity, no adding posts). The profile fields I am talking about are in the base/primary field only. Even the base fields are not showing up – even name and email! Nothing, just blank. I had to add my own sign-up form using a shortcode to that page to at least show the name and email fields, and that is not working either.
Many Thanks

MemberYou may have already checked but have you looked in your spam folder? Could be in there.

Participant@placementmantra You have already been asked by @hnla to stop opening old threads. Not to be rude but isn’t it ironic that your asking for help with spam yet your kinda being spammy yourself. Anyway try this plugin, it is in beta but it may work for you:

ParticipantI like WangGuard and Bad Behavior plugins – not together, but they both helped my installs.

ParticipantThanks guys. I cleaned out all apparent “spammer” members… I think. Seems some spammers sign-up, then lay dormant for days or weeks, then try to add their crap.
Currently I have:
Block disposal email
BB Registration Options
BB Press Restrict Group Creation
WordFence Security

Participantwangguard might be helpful in cleaning out your existing users as well even if you decide not to keep it.

ParticipantYou need to stop them now, as best you can and delete all members you have in there. A new BP site I have has had over 29,000 spam stopped in the last month. Do not forget WordPress is under a bot attack at the moment.
Firstly, Switch off that any one can register on your site.
Clean out all the spam members. Delete them.
Install Stop Spammer Registrations Plugin from WordPress.Org (Saved my life)
Install Limit Login Attempts
Install capachi plugin and set it up for it to be on when people are registering.
Change your admin name, if it is admin.Switch back on that people can register on your site.
These posts might help you as the same thing happened to me.
