Hi @wpdragon,

I think BuddyPress Security Check plugin is the best.

@wpdragon have you tried Akismet? I’ve found that to work well as part of your overall spam fighting strategy.

Also, rename your ‘register’ page to something else. Lots of spam bots look for /register/ so something as simple as /register-page/ will help hide your sign up form from at least a few of the bots.
