Phishing bots are spamming users on my site with private messages and its doing my head in lol!

Everyday I get a new user that bypasses akismet and google recapcha doesnt post anything but starts spamming private messages to people.

How can I make it so only friends can send private messages to each other?

Also is there a way to auto delete accounts that are bots which sign up and dont post naything after a certain period of time?

Thanks.

Sorted using the code from :https://buddypress.org/support/topic/private-message-friends-only/

One question will the messages still be stored in the database even if the message isnt sent? I dont want these spammers filling up my database with junk..
