My BuddyPress is spammed

I have got 1500 new members in 4 days and “they” all open up a Group and write their ad’s
Using Pie Register with Google reCaptcha and email verification, but that does not stop it.
Is it someone who has made a business to spam BP’s Communities?
Pls pls any ideas, I thought it should stop by itself when the spammer run out of ads, but NO
Site http://www.thaiforum.xyz, email me at ola@coolaola.com
Strange… My Google Analytics does not show any abnormal traffic, so how does the spammer come to the site? Beats me
Best Ola

For me, the plugin “good question” fixed 95% of spam regs.. similar to “buddypress humanity”…
