This is an incredibly simple and effective solution to the problem of spam user registrations in BuddyPress. If you’ve already tried renaming registration page files, adding .htaccess rules and you’re beginning to lose the plot, then you need this.
Last night I binned over 300 BuddyPress spam registrations (about a week’s worth) in less than a second. It took me minutes to delete the 5 registrations that slipped through the net. If you are getting the same kind of BuddyPress spam registrations as I am, then the same procedure will work for you.
At around 30 seconds to identify and mark a spammer using the BuddyPress admin bar, this already saved me over two and a half hours of my life. In one year this could save you more than 6 days. That’s a holiday. If your time is worth $10 an hour, that’s over $1000. I could go on persuading you…
This is not a plugin, it is a description of how to implement a solution and it may need a little tweaking for some people, depending on how their Buddypress installation is set up and what kind of BuddyPress spam registrations are causing problems. The price includes support with tweaking.
I am not making this information freely available for two simple reasons and I ask you to exercise discretion. When people find a way to beat spammers and post it online and everyone starts using it, the spammers catch on real quick. They change their behaviour soon enough you have to find a new way to beat them. If you post this publicly somewhere, your money is down the drain.
I have found a way to save myself a lot of time and anger, and I am offering to share it with the community and devote some of my saved time to others for a small fee. I think that’s fair, especially given that I’m not rich and I’m a nice guy. And just imagine the satisfaction you will feel the first time you blitz damn near every spam registration on your site in one click – where else would you get that much enjoyment legally?
Please bear in mind that I work an 11-hour day and I live in GMT+3. Buddypress is not my job, so please be understanding and patient regarding support and remote installation. We'll get there sooner or later.
If you have real difficulty implementing this solution, I will help you. At the very worst, you might need to provide me with access to your server and possibly (but incredibly unlikely unless you are completely unfamiliar with MySQL) to your MySQL database, but I want to avoid that at all costs.
If it comes to that and you are not familiar with how to create a temporary FTP account you may wish to ask your hosting support to set one up for you. It’s not a good idea to give your server login credentials to anyone, not even me, and I don’t particularly want that responsibility anyway.
!Exact product description and purchasing instructions PLEASE READ:
This is an information product that contains detailed instructions on how to delete BuddyPress spam registrations en-masse from your website quickly and easily, or even automatically. When you complete your purchase you will be able to download a short questionnaire and my contact details. To receive the information you must answer a few simple questions and provide proof of ownership of a spam-plagued BuddyPress installation.
The questionnaire is to help ensure that you are a bona-fide BuddyPress user suffering from a plague of spam registrations, and not a spammer who is going to download the information, refund the purchase and rework his spambots to plague us again.
Be patient! Every weekday evening at around 6pm GMT I will review applications and send out instructions. If it is obvious that this method won’t work for you I will let you know immediately and refund your purchase. If you don't receive a reply within 24 hours, either something has gone wrong or I am meditating in a forest. Please email me with a gentle reminder.
If I see that this method won’t work in your case, but I think I can find another solution for you, I will reply with the offer of ‘giving it a go’ at no extra cost. You are free to refuse the offer and take your money back. All refunds and guarantees will still apply.
I know this is a complicated procedure for a few pages of information, but it ensures the longevity of this solution and it is in your (and my) best interests.
