If you have BPS free installed then I recommend that you install a CAPTCHA plugin. If you have BPS Pro installed then you would use JTC Anti-Spam|Anti-Hacker. We did months of testing and research with different methods of blocking automated hacking and spamming attempts: http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/buddypress-spam-registration-buddypress-anti-spam-registration/ 99% of all hacking and spamming is automated with bots. Blocking by IP address is a time consuming and ongoing process. Some hacker and spammer networks have millions of IP addresses they can use. The most effective method of blocking automated hacking and spamming auto-registering, auto-logins and auto-posting attempts is using a CAPTCHA system.
