Actually, changing your registration slug wont do much. The spammers will just find the page again and then youldd have to change your registration slug again.

Its best to add capthca to your registration and to your comments.

are you using recapthca? You should use this on comments and or registrtion. Should squash a few of those spammers.

Or you could hold their comment for moderation and block those users and or ip address.

The email isn’t being received because some email places think it is spam.

he posted his page on my page so i thought ok, new guy, bit niave but enthusiastic, anyway i asked him where hes from, the midlands he replied, so i suggested he try creating a page for his part of the country as there was a niche in the market for this area. he then came back and spammed the heck outta my page??

i reminded him that my page was for Londoners, he then went and created a page for Londoners and came back to hit my page again ? some people lol

anyway hes gone on to create a rather nifty wp/bp site and i gotta admit its doing really well. I’m green with envy lol, he must know code pretty well, either that or he knows wp/bp inside out?

I’d swallow my pride and ask but my site got heavily spammed a few times and each attack slapped of his trademark so let sleeping dogs lie as they say !

A terms and conditions would provide all the legal cover you need? as the user has to agree to YOUR terms before even joining the site how is that hard to understand lol?

You could even do something as such;

Spamming or Trolling;

Excessively communicating the same phrase, similar phrases, or pure gibberish
Creating threads for the sole purpose of causing unrest on the website
Causing disturbances in groups, such as picking fights, making off topic posts that ruin the thread, insulting other posters
Making non-constructive posts

If a user is found to have participated in such actions, he/she will:

Be given an initial warning and if the behaviour continues will be banned from the community.

If you’re worried about not having proof why not just backup the SQL database? Which you should be doing daily anyway.

SPAM ? What should be a profit to sending you on buddydev.com pages ?
when You are in the title speaking about > Adding Posts to a BuddyPress Group
AND in content:
“Over the last few months I have had several clients requesting POST integration into the buddpress group structure. If anyone has BP experience customizing these aspects, your feedback would be GREATLY appreciated.”
AND in other place you say:
“Creating and editing posts on the front-end for members of a group, especially attempting to integrate the pop-up media manager can be very challenging.”

AND I am responding you :
Take a look here because Brajesh is working now on http://buddydev.com/forums/topic/plugin-for-frontend-posting#post-9118 plugin because of adding this to his another very interesting plugin ..http://buddydev.com/plugins/blog-categories-for-groups/ plugin , which when finished will enable front-end creating posts for members of a group.

Sorry that I didn’t read and respond your other questions which I am not expert at all . Maybe I really don’t understand what do you exactly want.

Did you check registration if you deactivate Typepad spam blocker as well as all other plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme?

Ask your host to ensure your domain has a RDNS record for the server

I’ve mentioned this quite a few times on this support forum, if you want to get emails through to the more annoying of the email services out there you must ensure you have a RDNS entry PTA record and also an SPF entry for you domain hotmail is failing to be able to check these two records and thus considering mail from your server to be spam.

One thing this isn’t is a problem with BP or WP it’s about server and domain configuration.
