KeymasterThat’s nothing to do with BuddyPress. “Subscriber” is the default WordPress role. However, I’m assuming these users have had their account activated?

MemberHi, Thanks for your reply! I am happy you replied on the subject. As previous to my “spam” nobody said anything… Sometimes you need a good “kick”start. If I have to be the “bad guy/voice” so be it many people want/need this. The more people that voice this the better.

KeymasterWe know about the spam problems. The volume is partly due to the fact that the user database is shared with some of the other official WordPress sites. We don’t have a magic wand, however.

r-a-y
KeymasterLike I mentioned, that is the intended behaviour. This is probably done to prevent accidentally spamming your users every time the group description is changed.
File a ticket if you are not satisfied with this:

Participant@hackcafejapan: you make a great impression as a new member here on BP.org! Just spamming and shouting on 4 topics in a row. I think we all get your point now! You know what, I’ll start spending all my free time on creating something extremely complicated as a multilanguage solution for BuddyPress. Thanks for motivating me and many others by being so vocal and rude with your requirements. Please don’t think for any minute that you need to contribute anything else besides spamming and complaining.
I’ll keep you updated about my progress!
ps: I can’t write a single line of code so it might take a while.

Memberthanks for the update @techguy. I think I’m okay with spam also, but just want the text “Check your email for activation” to stand out.

ParticipantThis is happening most likely because the text in the subject, and or message it triggering the email to mark as spam.
Download the plugin “welcome message”
You can easily edit the message for email.

Participant@suchaqd – yes I have already done that, but it’s a bit manual
@crashutah – I am guessing it is to do with spam – I will think about whether or not to do it, thanks.

Participantyeah! thats exactly what i meant
sorry for being in a rush and writing encrypted. it would be great to have the possibilty (best would be on user’s side) to assign the rss-stream to a certain group-activity, rather than flushing (“spaming”) the main activity stream.
@bowromir: indeed nice job, my commendation! @pisanojm: what kinf of plugins di you found, are they fullfilling your needs?best regards

Participant@modemlooper Check out this guy’s post regarding a blackhole setup for search bots that don’t respect robots.txt: http://perishablepress.com/press/2010/07/14/blackhole-bad-bots/ Could easily be modified to to do what your talking about regarding the default register slug.

ModeratorNeed a solution that blocks any ip that reaches URL/register The only visits to this URL are spam bots trying to sign up.

ParticipantAnd do any of these bots respect and observe robots.txt file? in which case id them from your server stats and block that url although that should be blocked already really.
You could go the Apache Allow/Deny directive in .htaccess?

modemlooper
ModeratorThe real issue is bots know the URL because its standard and will not help the hundreds of hits per hour wasting resources. It’s not a matter of blocking sign ups it’s blocking server hits.

Redirect /register http://www.google.com

ParticipantDeactivating plugins didn’t help. I have added the following items to .htaccess. The first rule is the problem but cookies for comments plugin says to add it to stop spam blogs.
#Cookies for comments
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*XXXXXXXXXXXXX.*$
RewriteRule ^wp-signup.php – [F,L]AND
# BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .wp-signup.php*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.mysite.com. [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) http://die-spammers.com/ [R=301,L]
# END ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATIONNovember 26, 2010 at 10:41 am #99235In reply to: Spammers attacking, help!

ParticipantJenny remove the blog signup section from the BP register page.
also adjust the WP footer links to something non standard as that is also a keyword search.
Other than that there have been some very long threads on this subject of spam signups and all possible tactics have been covered in those so do do a search for that info.

ParticipantYou should robots.txt exclude these files

MemberI fixed most of mine by adding a few fields in the Profile Field Setup. I added City, State ( as a dropdown menu and a zipcode. I got rid of 70% just from this. also, I have seen in my log files they are searching for
“yes i d like to create a new blog”
“registering for this site is easy just fill in the fields below and we ll get a new account set up for you in no time yes i d like to create a new blog”
“intext yes i d like to create a new blog blog with wordpress inurl register”
“i d like to create a new blog”maybe someone can tell us where this text lives so we can remove these tags from the search engines. just by this they are able to see all wordpress sites. I tried it with google and it does work.
