I really can’t say what it is if it doesn’t work in BP-default. I have it working as do others. There must have been an added a plugin or made a template file change that is blocking the plugin.
It may be actual humans signing up. People get paid pennies to sign up and spam forums. So, unless you verify every account before letting them in you can never remove all spammers.
BP uses its own registration but every user is signed up to the WordPress blog BP is installed on. Most WP plugins work with BP. You should do your own testing to verify.
Change the register slug to something else. Make sure BuddyPress or WordPress is not shown on any page of your site. Check footer and header via the browsers view source. Use a captcha. Only allow sign ups via Facebook connect. Don’t use multi site.
In my profile privacy plugin there is a button on user pages that lets admins mark user as spammer. This is for quickly blocking a user. It doesn’t delete account just puts account into a state that will not allow user to sign in.
I’m working my way through my plugins and adding updates. One update I may add to the profile privacy plugin is too block an account if they post without doing a certain thing first. Maybe they need to add a friend or join a group.
Search around, but no one should open a BP site without locking it down.
