If there is a user (or a bot) that signed up at your site this user can start to send messages to every other user. I had some negative experiences with this and so I wrote a module that should help to block such a spam. Buddypress Messages Spam Blocker introduces some restrictions to your users: New users can send messages only 24h after their registration, so you’ll have time if bot registrations have to be removed manually (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_newMembersWaitingPeriod’) Their are also some more restrictions for mass mailings (mails that are sent to “friends” of the contact list are not included in this calculation): Users can send 6 messages maximum in 5 minutes (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_5m’) Users can send 10 messages maximum in 10 minutes (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_10m’) Users can send 20 messages maximum in 30 minutes (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_30m’) Users can send 30 messages maximum in 60 minutes (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_60m’) Users can send 35 messages maximum in 12 hours (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_12h’) Users can send 45 messages maximum in 24 hours (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_24h’) Users can send 50 messages maximum in 48 hours (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_48h’) Users with the capability “edit_users” (admins etc.) have no restrictions for outgoing messages Install, activate, and it will work. More about me and my plugins Since the year 1999 I do administration, customizing and programming for several forums, communities and social networks. In the year 2013 I switched from another PHP framework to WordPress. Because not all plugins I’d like to have exist already I wrote some own plugins and I think I’ll continue to do so. If you have the scope at forums or social networks my other modules might also be interesting for you. Just take a look at my WordPress Profile to see all my Plugins.
