    Hi,

    I have been using this plug-in for quiete a while now and I am (was) very happy with it.

    But:
    Since two days I am having problems with spam bots again.
    Is anyone else having these problems? Is there any way to resolve this?
    I was forced to close down registration today because I had about 30 bot-registrations this night.

    I would love it if you could help ??

  • I had a similar problem.
    Today December 13, 2014
    I had 4 recordings very suspicious and yesterday a recording suspects.
    I go to see, and they did create new spam group.
    Fortunately, only three groups to be deleted.
    And ‘something happened? it is possible that we have found the solutions?

    I would note that you are registered to an hour and you are not logged in immediately but after a while (like a hour or two).
    of course the fact that we created four groups does not appear from plughin of activity, but this is because the plugin is not fishing activities BuddyPress

    We hope that you find a way to fix this flaw.
    I would recommend a combination captures + numerical sum.

    I have been having the issues.

    Since Yesterday, over 40 spam accounts have signed up to my site.

    is terrible, I do not fast blocking that occur in 10 to 20 per day

    look, you have to find a solution as soon as possible because the situation is not sustainable.
    Now I will try another plughin order not to have to spend your life … delete spam

    I am also starting to get a large amount of spam. It was working well for about 7 months.

    I had to fend for myself.
    I installed WangGuard and seems to be blocked.

    Well, I’m glad that this plugin has been working so far, and I’m sorry that it seems to to be failing now. Those damn bots just keep getting smarter.

    I’m not really in a position to design a completely new solution to this at the moment. I might revisit this later, but for the time being it is probably better to seek out a different solution to stopping spam registrations.

    I have now added this plugin to my site: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/buddypress-captcha/
    A lightwiehgt and easy to use plugin. It adds the Google reCaptcha field to the BuddyPress Sign-Up form.
    (Google Account needed.)
