 * 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.

 * 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

   7 months.

 * I had to fend for myself.
    I installed [WangGuard](http://www.wangguard.com/)
   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://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-captcha/](https://wordpress.org/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.)
