 * Some of the latest updates broke this functionality. I can’t deny registration
   any more.
    After selecting users and clicking Deny nothing happens, the page 
   just refreshed and not action is done.

 * which version of buddypress and our plugin are you using? I can investigate and
   see if I can recreate the issue with that information.

 * While I was working on some of banning capabilities, I was able to to mark a 
   pending person as denied and got the email that went along with my test user.
 * If not an inconvenience, could you give me the step by step that you used?

 * I have Stop Spammers Registration plugin activated.
    Sometimes spammers go through
   it, and for this case I use your plugin. They are appearing in a list. I don’t
   make anything special – just trying to deny using the site for them by checking
   in a list and clicking Deny button. Then the page is refreshed and nothing changed.

 * I’ll see if adding the Stop Spammers Registration plugin does anything to my 
   local install and if anything clashes. Stand by.

 * Well, I wasn’t able to recreate. However, I also noticed that the Stop Spammers
   plugin doesn’t play the greatest with our plugin either. BuddyPress Registration
   Options relies on a user_status being set, which is a field we set upon registration.
 * Stop Spammers halts any potential users before we even get to that point and 
   takes over. Admittedly, I don’t know how many one out of every X attempts get
   through. I did disable Stop Spammers long enough to get a test user through to
   the BP Register block, and then re-enabled. However, I was able to successfully
   deny at that time.
 * Not quite sure what to say at this point for you. I know our plugin is meant 
   specifically for BuddyPress components and soon re-adding bbPress as that’s closely
   coupled with BuddyPress. It’s not meant to stop spammers from accessing the site
   as a whole.

 * Yes, I understand how plugin works, but my main concern was in this: previously
   these 2 plugins worked well. 99% of spammers were caught by Stop Spammers. And
   some, that were not identified as spammers, were blocked by your plugin. And 
   deny button worked perfectly. And after some 4.x update of BuddyPress Registration
   Options this button stopped working for me…
 * But anyway, thanks a lot for your willing to help.

 * I have identified the problem.
    Your plugin doesn’t work when translated. I have
   renamed the `/languages/` folder in your plugin – and it started working again.
   It’s easy to fix, hope you will do that soon 🙂
 *     ```
       if ( isset( $_POST['Save'] ) ) {
       ...
       if ( isset( $_POST['Moderate'] ) ) {
       ```

 * Could you provide more details for the change that worked for you? The renaming
   of the languages folder isn’t making sense to me yet, and I would like to make
   as much sense as I can for this, to see if it’s viable to push out to everyone.

 * I have included above a code, that produces errors.
 * You are using English words as keys in $_POST array. When i18n is active, they
   are in Russian (in my case). So all the code inside that `if` stopped working
   as you do if `$action == 'Save'`.
 * Do you now understand the problem? Just never use translatable words as array
   keys.

 * Not really, given that those keys are never made translatable and there is nothing
   in the .pot file that is just “Save”. Regardless, I am willing to change those
   2 keys a little bit anyway.
