Don't get any other info than that every time a user is denied registration. Not sure if that hooks kaput. 👍

reCaptcha isn't appearing when a user is registering for a account.

Running NodeBB v1.1.0 (upgraded to v1.1.2 still no captcha)

Hi,

I have installed the plugin and when it is enabled users are unable to register. They get redirected to a blank page with an error. I do not have the error on hand at the moment but I will update later.

There is also no capture displayed on the register page. This could be causing the above issue too.

recaptchaTheme select option is not saved in database settings. So only Clean theme is available...

This is the structure in my mongodb base :

{
        "_id" : ObjectId(""),
        "_key" : "settings:spam-be-gone",
        "honeypotEnabled" : "",
        "honeypotApiKey" : "",
        "akismetEnabled" : "",
        "recaptchaEnabled" : "",
        "recaptchaPublicKey" : "",
        "recaptchaPrivateKey" : ""
}

I have activate only re-captcha, but it doesn't work. After check of errors on page, I can find this:

window.plugin = window.plugin || {};
            plugin["spam-be-gone"] = window.plugin["spam-be-gone"] || {};
            plugin["spam-be-gone"].recaptchaArgs = &#123

I'm running NodeBB v0.6.0 with spam-be-gone v0.4.0, if that helps.

2 problems with re :

• Clean theme : work fine in tablet/phone device but on computer, column size make recaptcha div too wide and recaptcha image become above text field (oversized).
  Maybe a max-width property depending on screen size could be a good option.
• blackglass (maybe other like him) : I think that plugin css (or nodebb theme css) deconstruct the recaptcha theme displaying

When Akismet incorrectly catches as post as spam, it would be great if admins could submit the post as a false positive.

Hi, thanks for a great plugin.

Noticed a lot of new spam accounts lately. Their IP is in the stopforumspam.com database.
Might be if you can add support for their api on a rainy day.

Hi, after enable Re-Captcha, I got "Error 504 - Gateway Timeout" when user registering.

The reason is unknown.

https://www.stopforumspam.com

Would be another good service to support.

Fresh install, plugin installed keys are added, and not getting any display on the registration page.

No errors in console.

for regFormEntry support 🐈

recaptcha not showing up on register page when reCaptcha is enabled and user get "Wrong Captcha" on submit (since last update).

A newly registered and legit user is currently not able to post anything on my forum.
Is there currently any way of stopping akismet from flagging his posts? I can't seem to find anything...

Support different language for users messages (like "Wrong Captcha" toast).
I can help you for French translation if you want.

NodeBB/NodeBB#3276

but works fine when page refreshed.

Error in console:

Failed to execute 'write' on 'Document': It isn't possible to write into a document from an asynchronously-loaded external script unless it is explicitly opened. 

it's the google generated script [example (may expire)] trying to document.write

/// this part here was able to write when /register page was ajaxified 
document.write('<scr'+'ipt type="text/javascript" s'+'rc="' + RecaptchaState.server + 'js/recaptcha_canary.js"></scr'+'ipt>');

Open spam-be-gone page settings. Not changes setting, go any another page - show popup:

Is it possible to have the language match that of what is set for the NodeBB instance? For example, the language on my instance is set to en_US, but I am in Korea. So the text on the RE Captcha automatically defaults to kr_KR (Korean).

will need to create own template, as described here:
https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/customization

I'm having intermittent restarts of nodebb on my site now I'm using this plugin, when it restarts, this is the only error.

warn: [plugins/nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gone] This plugin may not be compatible with your version of NodeBB. This may cause unintended behaviour or crashing.

On master branch. Up to date.

On the Notepad++ Community, we have a lot of spams. One thing that would be really great would be some bulk actions. For example, banning an user could automatically report as spam to akismet, and could automatically delete all its messages / topic.

Have observed users on our site (over the past few days) creating non-spam topics, then renaming them to spam titles.

These seem to be getting through (maybe even 100% of the time?) Is there a way to hook "topic rename" and run it through spam-be-gone?

I think this is related to the recent changes in template.js regarding character escaping. The browser console shows this error: SyntaxError: expected expression, got '&'. Here's what the script looks like on the client:

<div id="spam-be-gone-recaptcha-target"></div><script id="spam-be-gone-recaptcha-script">

window.plugin = window.plugin || &#123;&#125;;
            plugin["spam-be-gone"] = window.plugin["spam-be-gone"] || &#123;&#125;;
            plugin["spam-be-gone"].recaptchaArgs = &#123;"publicKey":"6Leuz-cSAAAAAIR-Q7l_BjnWE7hGGKk6nu4SQxCw","targetId":"spam-be-gone-recaptcha-target","options":{"theme":"clean","lang":"en","tabindex":0&#125;};
</script>
                    </div>

akismet tends to always mark edits to existing posts as spam, especially when you're only fixing formatting like adding code blocks. This is very annoying.

After upgrading to NodeBB 1.5, I am seeing the following warning in my logs:
8/5 14:13:56 [18121] - warn: [plugins/nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gone] Hook `action:post.flag` is deprecated, please use `action:flag.create` instead.

Hi! :) Error. I did not change any settings, but still error is displayed.
But now the normal text.

• NodeBB v1.1.2
• spam-be-gone v0.4.9

just gives a 404 error

With nodebb 1.2, and enabled re-captcha on signup, we get nodebb server restart after user verifies via re-captcha.

here is the error message:

captcha won't show

How long until updates show up on the panel?

Installed plugin 0.5.5 on nodebb 1.5.3. check registration page.

Currently, calls to Akismet only include user_ip, user_agent, permalink, comment_content, and comment_author. Ideally, they should also include referrer, comment_type, and comment_author_email.

comment_author_email is probably the most important one. A blank comment_type is assumed to be "comment", but it should probably be "forum-post" for new threads and "comment" for replies to threads.

Is the @latest dependent on a certain nodebb-theme-vanilla? Testing out the latest doesn't support captcha with [email protected]. However, the hooks are working as testing a new user registration denies me because I failed to complete the captcha (even though no captcha is presented).

Possible fix is to specify a min version of the vanilla theme (if that is indeed my problem).

When you have the following:

by uid: [email protected] was flagged as spam and rejected

It would be nice to have the real user id who tried to create the topic.

NodeBB - 1.4.3
nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gone - 0.4.10

I was edited a users post, and on submission it was being flagged as spam. The user was under the threshold, but as an Admin it should be possible to bypass the spam check if editing a users post.

Also - is 0.4.11 going to be made available via npm or is it waiting on a fix ?

Thanks for your time.

all we know, google was blocked in china, and recaptcha can't use too.

so just replace to google offical mirror recaptcha.net and it will work in global everywhere.

Is it compatible with 0.6.0 latest?
