Plugins can only help to reduce the spam but in most cases will never prevent spam by 100%.
Have you created an account at StopForumSpam.com to get an API key to report the spammers? If you haven't done yet, please do. Only if you report spammers instead of just deleting the spammers' accounts it will help blocking them from creating yet another new account using the same account credentials (e.g. IP address).
If the spammers often use email addresses from the same domain, you can also blacklist this domain in the Spam Login Filter plugin settings, so they can't register with such email addresses anymore. Of couse, this would only work if they don't use an email address used by a lot of others, too (e.g. you might not want to block gmail.com as this would keep a lot of valid users out).
Sorry about the late response but thank you so very much for the advice!!!

Does https://elgg.org/plugins/2835662 not work on Elgg 2.x?
I thought being that it was 1.12 it wouldn't be compatible..I will try it out!
Thank ya kindly:)
The social share plugin doesn't work for me either
If possible which plugins do you recommend that fall under the bookmark and embed heading?
learningbob talks about the bundled Bookmarks plugin
Thank ya kindly :)
The bundled Notifications plugin already offers the user options to enable email notifications to be sent when a user gets new messages and gets replies to their content. It's a user's choice though to enable the notifications.
I was wondering is there a plugin where if someone messages another user the user will be notified by the email they chose to sign up with?
There is the bundled Messages plugin.
Also the same when a person can be notified if they got a response on an image or post they did/uploaded?
Like iionly mentioned the bundled Notifications plugin can give the user control over the notifications when new content is posted or replied to. The user can still choose to disable notifications
Thank you all so very much!!!
