bp_stop_live_spammer()

Stop a logged-in user who is marked as a spammer.


Description Description

When an admin marks a live user as a spammer, that user can still surf around and cause havoc on the site until that person is logged out.

This code checks to see if a logged-in user is marked as a spammer. If so, we redirect the user back to wp-login.php with the ‘reauth’ parameter.

This clears the logged-in spammer’s cookies and will ask the spammer to reauthenticate.

Note: A spammer cannot log back in – bp_core_boot_spammer().

Runs on ‘bp_init’ at priority 5 so the members component globals are setup before we do our spammer checks.

This is important as the $bp->loggedin_user object is setup at priority 4.
