  Hi
  Try following
  - Matt Becket's Spam Login Filter plugin - https://elgg.org/plugins/774755
  access from spammer IP addresses is blocked - Go to Code Repository for Elgg 3.x compatible version.
  Very configurable in settings and effective.
  - iionly's http:blacklist plugin - https://elgg.org/plugins/1641554
  access from spammer IP addresses is blocked. Checks an IP database for that. Very effective
  - Matt Becket's Spam Throttle - https://elgg.org/plugins/821368
  Beautiful idea and it works. If someone tries to spam you with a brand-new clean IP address, this plugin will spot and hammer down that spammer.As far as I know - unfortunatey - not available for Elgg 3. Still, check the code repository just in case.
  And the last but not the least, it is good to use a captcha at least for registration. There are several, but iionly's captcha is google-free if you are sensitive about privacy of your users: iionly https://elgg.org/plugins/914006
  Good luck
