Spam bots are clever, that’s it.
Being able to create a group without logging in is more than ‘clever’.
There have been a few similar reports over the last couple of years – always specific to groups – suggesting that there is a ‘hole’ somewhere, maybe in BP.
I don’t know what the solution is and have been unable to replicate the problem.

What version of WP and BP are you using?
Are you using any additional plugins or code re BP Groups?
There was an issue that was fixed for BP 2.2
Hello, I didn’t see the replies for this topic. errm. I was on latest BP and WP at the time of the report. There is a few plugings, group calendar, send invites, Announcement only, group email subscriptions, rendez-vous, and RTmedia. I haven’t noticed it recently, but I have also locked the site down to paying members only, tends to slow down the spambots…they are too mean fisted to pay for the minimal subscription.
