    several days passed, these 2 spamers didn’t do anything on my blog. Why they register? What they want to do?

    Just in case it was actually taken seriously the ;) after the spam comment I made was meant to be tongue in cheek ;)

    Good luck with the site Bowe and I concur with the “not a paid endorsement” brigade the site does look good :)

    “Spam!!!”
    *sees the topic is about his own theme*
    “Absolutely NO problem with this!” :D

    Thanks for creating this topic Ross, I’m really glad you like the theme I’m putting up for sale. And Boone thanks for promoting my already outdated video as well :-) My intention with the new BP-Tricks site is not to only sell a premium theme, and offer some kind of subscription service (I’m not a big fan of subscription models for Themes).

    BP-Tricks will hopefully become a resource for great BuddyPress tips and tricks. Selling the theme is just a great way for me to keep BP-Tricks running, earn some money and hopefully improve the quality of BuddyPress Child Themes.. The theme is GPL and cool stuff that I add to it will all be shared in the form of Tutorials on BP-Tricks. The actual design elements and the support are what people are paying for (similar as WooThemes does this for example).

    Everyone can submit code/design/inspirational Tricks through a form or the backend, and by doing so you’ll earn Awards (@DJPaul his Achievement Plugin FTW!) and badges awarded by me. The best new trick each month earns a nice price (currently a Free theme, but I’ll try to get some sponsors) and they get listed on the frontpage in Widget of Fame :)

    Besides that the Activity Stream is purely meant to be a source of information displaying ONLY new Tricks, external Tricks (BP-Links from @MrMaz) and external member blogs from our members (if you blog about BuddyPress or anything related to it) you can add your RSS feed to your profile and people who follow you get your updates in their stream. This plugin will be released to the community when the site launches next week.

    There’s also a customized search feature which only searches the BuddyPress network (BP.org, BP-Tricks, WPMU.org, Etivite.com, BuddyDev.com, ShabuShabu.eu etc) and a bunch of other stuff which I probably forgot to tell.

    All the site features remain free, and also the site will be Ad free for as long as I earn enough to keep it running without loosing money on it.

    I hope this makes my intentions clear, and that it will become a place where you can enjoy great BP Tricks from not only me, but from anyone, without getting the feeling that I’m out for someone’s money.. because that is certainly not my intention :) If you want to have access to the site before launch to look around and submit some Tricks for the community just let me know, and I’ll make sure you’ll have access and be a part of the cool kids ;)

    No seriously it isn’t spam! Sorry if it sounded like that! I was just being a little enthusiastic perhaps. Check out the site, it’s 100% genuine and a great addition for the BP community in my opinion. Just trying to help.
    Cheers!

    Hi guys,

    This is NOT spam, I just thought this site would be very useful to the BP community.

    If anyone is interested in sharing some cool BP Tricks and tips then I’ve just noticed that Bowe’s site http://www.bp-tricks.com is nearly back online with an AMAZING new theme called BP Slick.

    Check out his site and have a look at the screenshots. I have just pre-ordered ithe theme as he’s giving early 20% discounts but seriously it’s awesome.
    I managed to get on his site before it was protected and the bp-slick theme is the nicest/ most funsctional I’ve seen.

    Sliders for images/ customisable accordian sidebars, FULL S2Member integration and even integrated CDN functionality so it’s lightning fast.

    Sorry for going on but it just blew me away.
    Ross :)

    Not generally an advisable thing to want to do, privacy, spam concerns etc etc

    I see, spammers. I checked their IP address– they are the same.
    Thanks!

    It’s just spammers isn’t it! When bots sign up, they have to or think they have to fill any form fields they find so they simply place random characters. Are these actual users or spammers?

    When I’m logged in as my admin profile, it says I have a notification that 1 user is following me, but when I click on it, it just brings me back to the home page. I may have deleted the person following me because they were spam, but now I can’t get the notification to clear. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Not spam, just try to post with the good title :-)

    When a new member is registring, he has to use only lowercase. Why don’t force lowercase directly in forms ?

    Just adding to this rather than creating a new topic:

    I keep getting an error when trying to upload an avatar (on here):

    Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /home/buddypress/public_html/wpmu/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/6656263. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    Also get a ’page not found’ whenever trying to search through search pages with multiple pages

    And when I do look through searches there seems to be endless spam.

    Appreciate there seem to be only a very small number of people keeping things going on here and they obviously give an awful lot so I really don’t want to offend, but it does seem that it’s not the best advert for using buddypress.

    That said I’m using it anyway and looking forward to it too!

    I am wondering if there is any way to limit the size of a user’s update. For instance, on this page (http://www.latenitebooks.com/members/kittrellbj/), users can post updates about themselves similar to Facebook status messages.

    I want the ability to limit the size of these things, similar to the way Facebook or Twitter limits the total size of a single update. If it is an administrator, it can be any size. If it is a moderator, limit to 1000 characters. If it is a regular user, limit the size to around 150 characters or less.

    That’s the only kind of spam I get hit with these days. I had someone come on the site and post a 26-page advertisement 6 times. It clogged my RSS feed, and that took about 30 minutes to get straightened out.

    If anyone knows of a solution, let me know. I’ll even program it myself and release a plug-in for it if someone can at least give me a link to that part of the API.

    I now understand from my test user registration that all users must reply to an authentication email that they receive after registering to be a user on a BuddyPress site. If a user for any reason does not respond to that automated email to authenticate their registration, that user will be marked as a “spammer” and thus they will be unable to participate in that BuddyPress site.

    Perhaps this procedure should be explained directly in the BuddyPress documentation somewhere so that administrators will understand what to expect with BuddyPress?

    I tested the BuddyPress registration process by registering as “test” but using an actual email address of mine. This “test” user was also automatically marked as a “spammer” and that automatic marking of any user as a “spammer” is a problem. BuddyPress should look into why this automatic marking of a user as a “spammer” happens, and also provide clear and specific instructions for administrators to undo the marking of “spammer” whenever (as in this case) the marking of a user as a “spammer” is clearly an error.

    I set up a site using BuddyPress http://jadiweb.com/defend and I have consistently received emails from people who have experienced difficulties registering and logging in. One user who registered apparently was automatically marked as a “spammer” but the person is a legitimate user and not a spammer. There is no documentation about how an administrator can unmark some user as a “spammer” and there should be documentation for a feature in BuddyPress such as this one. Such difficulties for the users make me question whether BuddyPress was the correct choice for running a site like this. Any help would be appreciated–especially in documentation about how to unmark someone as a “spammer” in the Dashboard.

    Any way for a BuddyPress site to require new members to be approved first before gaining access to the site?

    My network is new but has attracted the attention of spammers. They haven’t caused trouble (yet) but I would like to prevent this by requiring any new applicant to join be held in a queue for approval by an Admin.

    My network was once on Ning, and this stopped all spammers. I looked around the Super Admin and Dashboard functions and cannot find a way to set registration to keep new members in an approval queue.

    Ah right… I think that “Bulk Action” only becomes available in WP3 if you have enabled Multisite. And not too sure if WP-Activate is compatible with Buddypress. Here’s an auto-activate plugin that is compatible with WP3 single:
    http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-premium-plugins/plugin-bp-auto-activate-auto-login-redirect-to-profile-automatically-activate-your-new-user-signuplog-them-in-and-redirect-to-their-buddypress-profile-on-signup/

    It’s a premium plugin, but the small fee is well worth all the cool stuff @Brajesh puts out almost weekly. He’s also a great help if you ever get yourself into a coding kaffuffle.

    You can also test the plugin here:

    Looks like they didn’t activate their account, I used the plugin WP Activate to manually activate the account for them.

    It’s so wierd the user isn’t highlighted in red and “Not Spam” isn’t an even an option,

    The only options I have are “Bulk Actions” and “Delete”

    This is WordPress 3.1 Not WordPress MU.

    Hello Philip…

    I just registered successfully on your site… My guess is that the person didn’t check for their validation e-mail… I’ve had huge trouble with gmail accounts going to SPAM every-time so I’ve made sure that I talk about the spam/junk folder…. Also, you need to make sure that the folks are aware of the e-mail… I’ve spent a lot of “words” talking about this on the musicpln.org.

    Also, what plugin are you using for your “novice status” counts in the upper right sidebar?

    Issue solved. E-mails end up in Spam filter.

    Which leads to the next question, any way to get gmail to open this up without having to inform each gmail user that tries to sign up?

    Jason
