User just registered and BP Reg Options was bypassed entirely

Please apologize. It appears to be working now. I will post again if I have a problem.

Some quick notes. It doesn’t prevent the user account from being activated, but depending on the settings used, their interaction is either limited to read only, or unable to view BuddyPress and/or bbPress areas. It won’t stop the user from viewing say single blog posts. Just the social areas.

When you get them in the moderation list, and click deny, the user account is deleted. If you click approve, then we change the value of a user meta key used for moderation, so that they no longer show up in that list.

Hope things go well from here on out, and yes, let me know if you run into issues so that I can help debug as best I can.

Hi Michael,
Thank you so much for the notes. This is very helpful.

I did JUST get a weird anomaly. A user submitted the application and caused the member request email to fire but somehow the user was immediately approved and I got the “New User” email.

Any thoughts? As a side note, I have all the current versions of WP and plugins.

I just received another pair of simultaneous emails indicating a spammer was queued briefly at the Buddypress Registration Options plugin before being approved on its own.

The “New User” emails don’t mean they got past moderation. Like I said, they can activate and all that stuff, which will trigger some of those emails. You should also be getting emails about new users in moderation.

I need to find a way to reduce email totals, really. May try and filter the default BP new user email to add or info as well, but not for the next major release.

Thanks Michael,

I’m sorry, I guess I didn’t fully understand. I appreciate you explaining it again for me. Like, a lot.
