LeeThank, Ryan. Will take a look.
000000000Thanks! I’ll give the link inside that thread a try
Ryan HellyerThe Spam Destroyer plugin definitely won’t stop comma seperated lists. It doesn’t even look at your post content in fact.
LeeSecond post to activate followup notifications (can the forum mods assume we want to know about follow ups and work on an opt out basis, please).
LeeDefinitely need something to can the spam. I had to disable Akismet on one site because it prevented comma separated lists being posted. Will Spam Destroyer allow comma separated lists to be posted?
@mercime@sdglhm have you asked user who is not receiving the activation emails to check in spam folder?
Ryan HellyerIt should be more “accurate” since it’s not using heuristic techniques to detect spam. Those sorts of techniques should work very well in concert with what my plugin does though. Anything that gets through the Spam Destroyer should be fed through Akismet for checking, in theory leading to an extremely low amount of spam.
Ben Hansenit’s an interesting plugin no doubt i know it’s probably a bit early to be able to give a real apples to apples comparison but i’m just wondering how the accuracy compares to API based spam/splog prevention such as akismet or wangguard.
Ryan HellyerThe plugin seems to be working fine so far. I haven’t received any complaints so far.
I’ve posted a new version for download:
http://geek.ryanhellyer.net/products/spam-destroyer/
The main difference with this new version is that it lets me track statistics on how well the plugin is working on your site (assuming you opt-in for it). This should help me work out how well the plugin is working without having to pester people for updates on the plugins progress 🙂
Hugo AshmoreSeems successful to me!
I’ll delete this in a while or is that post I found marked as spam the one you wanted to post up ?
modemlooperThe reason for that is so many installs are not customized enough and that makes it easy for bots.
No system is safe from spam.
Leo BlanchetteThanks a lot. Looks like I’ve found a pretty spam-targeted platform.
modemlooperGoogle around for options. http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/security/best-practices-for-preventing-buddypress-spam-user-registrations/
Ben Hansen@mercime thanks for the heads up probably gonna stick with WangGuard for my buddypress client at this point but glad to see there are more options now.
Ben Hansenlooks cool i’ll keep it in mind for any future buddypress test projects!
@mercime @ryanhellyer thank you for posting your plugin here 🙂 We’ll surely check it out.
Cheers.

Ryan HellyerIt does user registrations, site registrations and logged out user comments.
I don’t actually use BuddyPress, so don’t have any way to test it in a live situation myself. It is dealing with my blog comment spam flawlessly though.
Paul Wong-GibbsLooks cool. What types of integration does it have? Spam user signups?
ossendryverAnd now when I try press “Delete account” It doesn’t do anything.
Ben Hansenthere is no perfect solution for this problem and these “bots” are actually humans a good deal of the time i have had good experience with WangGuard though.
