 * When a user creates an account it asks them to verify.
 * When this happens they have full access to the site and the activation link disappears
   from the Members Request Section.
 * Is there any help you could give me?

 * OK I will try to verify what caused the blocking… but what is about behaviour
   in my first post?… could this be reproduced?

 * Sorry!!!… IP Blocking caused by WP-Activity (found in phpMyAdmin)…
    but behaviour
   in different browsers seems to be reproducible…

 * A couple things to keep in mind. The registering user won’t have the same browser
   session as you, already logged in, so they should be getting redirected properly
   as expected.
 * Our plugin doesn’t prevent the activation key from going out. They’re able to
   click it, activate the account, log into the site, BUT they can’t, or at least
   shouldn’t be able to, access the BuddyPress areas, by the impression that I’ve
   noted people get. Your Contact page would still be able to be seen.
 * I am not the original plugin author, I have stepped in as a primary contributor
   though.

 * One thing that I’m thinking/realizing is that this isn’t a perfect block like
   I was thinking it was supposed to be.
 * Here’s a snippet of the code from includes/core.php
 *     ```
       if ( $bp_moderate == 1 && $user_ID > 0 ) {
       	$user = get_userdata($user_ID);
       	if ( 69 == $user->user_status ) {
       		//hide friend buttons
       		add_filter( 'bp_get_add_friend_button', '__return_false' );
       		add_filter( 'bp_get_send_public_message_button', '__return_false' );
       		add_filter( 'bp_get_send_message_button', '__return_false' );
       		//hide group buttons
       		add_filter( 'bp_user_can_create_groups', '__return_false' );
       		add_filter( 'bp_get_group_join_button', '__return_false' );
       		//hide activity comment buttons
       		add_filter( 'bp_activity_can_comment_reply', '__return_false' );
       		add_filter( 'bp_activity_can_comment', '__return_false' );
       		add_filter( 'bp_acomment_name', '__return_false' );
       		//redirect messages page back to profile (dont want blocked members contacting other members)
       		add_filter( 'bp_get_options_nav_invite', '__return_false' );
       		add_filter( 'bp_get_options_nav_compose', '__return_false' );
       		if ( $bp->current_component == 'messages' ) {
       			wp_redirect( $bp->loggedin_user->domain );
       			exit();
       		}
       	//set global to false
       	} else {
       		$bp_moderate = false;
       	}
       }
       ```
   
 * In short, this is hiding UI elements, but not preventing access. I probably miss-
   communicated this at times, as I’m realizing better what this plugin does and
   doesn’t do.
 * I also think that this could be due for a change. I know I have added some code
   for bbPress, which is closely coupled, but separate, from BuddyPress. It uses
   map_meta_cap to prevent reading of the the bbPress section, and it should be 
   able to be used with BuddyPress as well. However, I really want to get this tested
   and nailed down before I push up.
