ParticipantBut while waiting for Boone to code a plugin (there is one for activating signups that I’ve used on test beds, which I’ll look up when I get home) You must try and establish what has occurred kriskl, if you fear your server might have been blacklisted then it might be worth checking your domain against the blacklists? then you’ll know if you have any remedial work to do to get removed from the lists,. Find a user that you can send test signups to or an account you can check and see where the email is landing up – is it being marked as spam.

ParticipantBoth questions you need to investigate, if either of those are true you need to establish why otherwise you will struggle to ever grow your community, I would test ferociously the sending and receiving of emails and how your server might be configured, you may need an SPF record available so certain email servers don’t flag as spam i.e the likes of your hotmail accounts etc

ParticipantI’m not going to make any friends in here anyway, so I’ll say what others won’t: Andy Peatling is a PHP programmer, not an (interface) designer. This redesign is cluttered, hard to use. I see groups, forums, topics, community, support. I have no clue what’s what. Automattic should focus on core functionality (member management, security, privacy, spam, etc.), take out redundancies (less is more), separate script from layout as much as possible and leave design to theme developers.

ParticipantCouldn’t find anything on this so I wrote something.
It seems to work for me.
I simply add this to the bp-custom.phpfunction update_friends_count( $user_id ) {
global $wpdb, $bp;
if ($friend_ids = BP_Friends_Friendship::search_friends( ”, $user_id )) {
foreach ($friend_ids AS $fid) {
$total_sql = “SELECT COUNT(id) FROM {$bp->friends->table_name} WHERE initiator_user_id = $fid OR friend_user_id = $fid”;
$total_friend_ids = $wpdb->get_var($total_sql);
update_usermeta($fid, ‘total_friend_count’, (int)($total_friend_ids) – 1);
}
}
do_action( ‘update_friends_count’, $user_id );
}
add_action( ‘wpmu_delete_user’, ‘update_friends_count’, 1 );
add_action( ‘delete_user’, ‘update_friends_count’, 1 );
add_action( ‘make_spam_user’, ‘update_friends_count’, 1 );April 26, 2010 at 4:38 pm #75281In reply to: BuddyPress Security

ParticipantFYI, I’m running the following plugins and they seem to be stopping/slowing spammers:

Participantthe hack adds “the new users’ e-mail address to the e-mail with the activation link. This way you’ll know which activation link belongs to which user.” This is really needed!
Is there another line to add to functions.php that will add the email address?
Actually what we need is a plugin that creates a pending membership panel in the admin so you can go in and active or mark as spam… just like comments!

ParticipantAH! Got it http://buddypress.pastebin.com/LrQuRa9T
This will show you the number of pending (NOT SPAM) comments next to the menu for ‘Manage Comments (#)’. Whew. I’m going to fiddle and see if I can make something like the notifications alert show up. But this is mostly what I wanted

ParticipantI have the same problem. 50% of my users are marked as spammers
I think they don’t get the activation email, or it gets thrown in their SPAM folders..
It would be nice to have a functionality in WP to send them another email with activation link..April 25, 2010 at 4:30 pm #75128In reply to: How to delete spam from Group Forums Directory

KeymasterMembers Directory. If you sort by “newest registered”, and thus get the most recent spam signups. Not only does it take a long time to load due to number of users on this site (30+ seconds), but as those spammers don’t have a name, the floats aren’t appearing to be cleared correctly.

ParticipantFYI, Today I updated SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam for latest version of buddypress 1.2.3 compatibility
SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/
This plugin adds CAPTCHA anti-spam methods to WordPress on the comment form, registration form, login, or all. In order to post comments or register, users will have to type in the code shown on the image. This prevents spam from automated bots. Adds security. Works great with Akismet. Also is fully WP, WPMU, and BuddyPress compatible.

Participantmany thanks Ray !
That “no reply” e-mail seems not to be the issue, because the second e-mail which says “Dear User. Your new account is set up.” is also being send from “noreply@domain.com”.
So both e-mails are being send from “noreply@domain.com” , but the first e-mail containing the BP-Registration-Code is landing in the Spam-folder, the second e-mail which the user is receiving is actually not landing in the Spam-folder of Gmail.
Anyway, do I need a Plug-in” in order to change the e-mail-address from “noreply@domain.com” to something different ?
Is there a way to change that somewhere in the backend without using a plugin ?

KeymasterAhh okay, Erich! Thanks for the extra details.
It could be an issue with the email address that the activation email is sending from.
By default, the activation email tries to use the admin email option in WPMU.
If that isn’t set, it uses something like:
Which could be causing the activation email to go to the spam folder.
Try using the following plugin to set the email address:

ParticipantHi Ray,
the thread you are referring to is regarding a different issue.
I am running a dedicated server and I have no issues with SMTP.
Sending e-mails via BP is actually working fine, the only issue I am having is that the e-mail send via BP containing the Verification-Code is landing in the Spam-folder of the Gmail-account of the respective user.
All other e-mails send by BP are actually not landing in the Gmail-Spam-folder.
So something got to be wrong here…..
I guess this is worth a TRAC-ticket.
Many thanks,

Participantcaptcha and math tools do not really help fighting spam.
spammer register manually and then feed your blog automatically remote via xmlrpc.
i am running a wordpress mu + buddypress site and had about 40 spammer-registrations a day with lots of spam. then i deactivated xmlrpc via renaming xmlrpc.php in wp-root, result was only user registrations (without content spam). about four days later spammer registrations were reduced from 40 to about three a day (easy to delete), seems that the spam-apps noticed that the rpc doesn´t work and deleted my site from their targetlists, entering their messages manually is to complicated for them….

ParticipantI changed the signup page name, stopped all new registrations across all blogs, added to the htaccess page and STILL get signups.
I asked over at wpmu and they say it is Buddypress causing this and to ask here but I see that BP blame WPMU.
Great!

ParticipantYeah, I have tested with an existing and brand new Gmail-account.
I do not think it is related to the domain, as I have tested this with 3 different BP-installs on 3 different domains. I have also tested this on a fresh BP-install without external Plugins installed.
It is only happening with the e-mail which includes the Registration-Code. Only the e-mail which says “Activate your Account…..” is landing in the Gmail-Spam-Folder.
The other e-mail which says “Dear User, Your new account is set up…..” is NOT landing in the Spam-Folder.

Participantno, my domain is a normal and serious one. Should not be landing in any Spam-Folder.
I remember DJ-Paul saying that the e-mail text needs to be customized which will prevent it landing in the Spam-folder. Not sure about that…. ?

Participantthe trouble is that this e-mail is landing in the Spam-Folder at Gmail of users.
Is there a way to avoid this ?
Many thanks,
