 * You can disregard this issue. I hadn’t had the time yet to provide feedback but
   just after I submitted this we traced it down to the BuddyBoss theme.

 * I can only get it to work if I disable the plugin or use the option “Disable 
   anti-spam for miscellaneous forms”. First one obviously isn’t a solution for 
   this issue and the second one introduces its own set of issues.
 * I could of course try to whitelist the JetPack server IP addresses. However, 
   that would introduce a whack-a-mole situation as JetPack uses a range of constantly
   changes IP addresses. The current ones in use are listed here: [https://jetpack.com/support/hosting-faq/](https://jetpack.com/support/hosting-faq/)
 * Though if WP-SpamShield could recognise JetPack communication as valid traffic
   it would solve this issue.

 * What I described isn’t a solution, it’s when/what triggers the problem on my 
   install. Current workaround is to disable the plugin and wait for an update or
   feedback from the programmers on how to resolve it.

 * The problem is triggered by connecting to wordpress.com. Disabling the plugin
   and enabling it will let your site work. Right after the activation and permission
   for which wordpress.com account to use your site will stop working (I can see
   the redirect url to my dev server that should trigger the successful activation
   screen).
 * At that point nothing is returned anymore by the front end of WordPress (I can
   still access the admin area). There’s no error message, no page content, nothing
   in the debug log, and the http response code is 200 (WP_DEBUG, WP_DEBUG_LOG, 
   and WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY are turned on).

 * They fixed a related issue for the WordPress 4.4.1 release [according to their release notes](https://codex.wordpress.org/Version_4.4.1):
 * > 35156 wp_list_categories() does not accept comma-separated IDs for exclude_tree
   > parameter
 * I haven’t spotted 36006 in the release notes and I haven’t checked yet if this
   issue also got resolved with this release.
