BuddyPress.org

As every post with picture/link or quote is now waiting for approval, this new moderation thing is just a nightmare.

So far, using GD Toolbox Report function to let users report posts in need of moderation (and a very secure anti-spam^^). And this was perfect for my needs.

Now, forum is almost unusable with dozens posts per hour to approve only because some member quoted another. Or added a picture. Discussions are a nightmare to follow with posts validated too late, with many other answers in between. And, of course, users posting many times in a row because their posts wasn’t added to discussion.

My community is too active to ask for moderators to validate posts. This is a non-sens for my usage : posts are legit until proven not.

So : is there any way to remove this moderation option ?
Or i’ll have to remove bbpress. After many years of service and so much time to improve my forums, time may have come to make that switch to Discourse… And, yes, it may be a conflict with Toolbox tools. But there’s no way I use bbpress without GD addon.

I have a social media site I’m working on using Buddypress.

Spam accounts are signing up without filling in any of the required fields, and I don’t understand how. WordPress registration/login is disabled, all done through a 3rd party plugin (Youzer). When I go through the registration form myself, there’s no way to skip entering information such as city, country etc. All they are signing up with is a username, email and password.

How can I stop this? They’re messing up the layout of the members area, and just sending spam messages to actual members.

Hello Team,

I’d greatly appreciate support fixing this issue that has plagued my site for the last year and has caused me to abandon the hopes of finally finishing my work. In essence, my admin account is flagged as a spammer by BuddyPress across my entire multi-site network! I am not sure where it started, although I have a hunch it was caused by the plugin “Join My Multisite”. Either way, I have deactivated all plugins and created new sites on my network from scratch but as soon as I install BuddyPress the admin account will be marked as a spammer! This is a huge problem because my site uses BuddyBoss theme, which is powered by BuddyPress! I am in extreme need of assistance here! Please and thank you.

Here is another thread with a user experiencing a similar issue:

Hi,

I have a wordpress with Buddy Press and every day i receive a lot of spams.

What can i do to stop them ?

I have an old Buddy Press and WP theme.

Hi! I have a vague idea of what I’d like to do, but I’m not sure how to write the code. If anyone could help me out, I would really appreciate it!

I want to check the BP private message content before it’s sent to compare it to the previously sent message by that user. If it’s identical, I want to automatically notify the site admin, and possibly mark the user as spam. I know long term this might have false positives, but right now we’re having a serious problem with spam users sending out identical messages requesting to be contacted privately via email.

Thanks!

we emptied out some spam memberships from your database, and we need to know what happens next to update the count on the activity page.

The registration on my website is showing the wrong figures as 112904 members the link for that page is activity page. It should be correct and we have also use repair logs but the number is still visible. How to solve the counter or reset it.
