Moderation, blacklisting, and flooding

[johnjamesjacoby]

With spam an ever increasing concern, BuddyPress is currently ill equipped to prevent spam or unapproved content before it starts. As such, BuddyPress core needs functions that can check any submitted data against WordPress core's illegal keys, as well as protect any child component from flooding.

(In [5272]) Introduce bbp-core-moderation.php to provide basic functions for checking submitted content against illegal keys and flooding. See #3732.

(In [5273]) Change filter names so they match function names in bbp-core-moderation. See #3732.

(In [5274]) Use new _core_ prefixed function names in bbp-core-moderation.php. See #3732.

(In [5277]) Add moderation keys and blacklist keys filters to Activity stream component. Introduce function for gathering the activity types that should be checked, and default to updates and comments per the Akismet extension. See #3732.

Functions are in, activity stream is using it. Other components can take advantage of this at a later date. Note that bbPress 2 already uses these. Closing as fixed.

The function bp_core_check_for_flood in bbp-core-moderation.php is not hooked to anything. No flood control on activity page.
