By “wire on the home page”, do you mean the Site Wide Activity widget? That certainly *won’t* update, as the HTML for that element is cached (i.e. written once when the activity generated, and saved then).
Yes, I mean the site wide activity, and also the members wire who made the post that was removed.
Well, as it is cached, how do I clear the cache and regenerate it?
I can see some real capability for some serious abuse of websites with a system like this.
Maybe a button in the buddypress admin to clear/regen the cache is a good idea?
No cache control page yet for activity streams, but one could certainly be created.
Change your name, post a thing, change it back. I get what you’re saying, but this type of “abuse” is unavoidable.
In the meantime, is there a way to clear and recreate the cache so I can make the needed changes?

As there is HUGE potential for abuse in this, I would love to see the ability to remove something from the activity stream as an admin. Like a ‘delete’ or ‘warn’ or ‘mark as spam’ button for the admins next to each of the streams.
btw.. not related
why does my username in the forums say i am ‘inactive’ where others say member, moderator, etc…? I am obviously logged in…. how do I become ‘active’? lol
I completely agree. In a standard social network I’d care less, but the project I’m working on is an official university initiative and the ability to clean up a mess before/because of a complaint is going to be key.
Same here with the “inactive” on my name in the forum…weird.
Me too, actually, with the ‘inactive’ thing. Though, you guys are both now members.
Speaking to this issue:
why does my username in the forums say i am ‘inactive’
It is a known bug in bbPress. Everyone sees their own status as “Inactive” and everyone else’s as “Member” or “Moderator”.
I just look at it as a little nudge to get more involved. 
Interesting. I don’t think I’ve noticed that on the other bbPress sites, but maybe I’ve never paid attention.

LOL!
You only appear as inactive when you are logged in, and view yourself. To everyone else you appear as “member”.
Deleting activity stream items will be in a future version, but you could write a plugin to delete specific items for now if you wanted. it would be quite easy, you’re just deleting rows in the database.
