    Hello,

    I see in the FAQ that your plugin will protect from Buddypress spam registrations. How about comments though? Does it block spam in comments in the BuddyPress activity stream?

    Thanks

    Not directly but in order to comment in the buddypress activity stream you need to have registered an account and be logged in using that account. As detailed my plugin will protect against spam/bot buddypress registrations

    So I guess theoretically someone could register manually and then configure a bot they control to login (using the account the account they created manually) to spam the buddypress activity stream. But I´m sure you will agree that this is highly unlikely (and not something Ive ever seen).
