If there is a user (or a bot) that signed up at your site this user can start to send messages to every other user. 
I had some negative experiences with this and so I wrote a module that should help to block such a spam.
Buddypress Messages Spam Blocker introduces some restrictions to your users:
<ul>
<li>New users can send messages only 24h after their registration, so you’ll have time if bot registrations have to be removed manually (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_newMembersWaitingPeriod’)</li>
</ul>
Their are also some more restrictions for mass mailings (mails that are sent to “friends” of the contact list are not included in this calculation):
<ul>
<li>Users can send 6 messages maximum in 5 minutes (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_5m’)</li>
<li>Users can send 10 messages maximum in 10 minutes (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_10m’)</li>
<li>Users can send 20 messages maximum in 30 minutes (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_30m’)</li>
<li>Users can send 30 messages maximum in 60 minutes (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_60m’)</li>
<li>Users can send 35 messages maximum in 12 hours (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_12h’)</li>
<li>Users can send 45 messages maximum in 24 hours (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_24h’)</li>
<li>Users can send 50 messages maximum in 48 hours (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_48h’)</li>
</ul>
Users with the capability “edit_users” (admins etc.) have no restrictions for outgoing messages
Install, activate, and it will work.
More about me and my plugins
Since the year 1999 I do administration, customizing and programming for several forums, communities and social networks. In the year 2013 I switched from another PHP framework to WordPress. 
Because not all plugins I’d like to have exist already I wrote some own plugins and I think I’ll continue to do so.
If you have the scope at forums or social networks my other modules might also be interesting for you. <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=quan_flo" title="ifs-net / quan_flo WordPress Plugins" rel="ugc">Just take a look at my WordPress Profile to see all my Plugins.</a> Use them and if my work helps you to save time, earn money or just makes you happy feel free to donate – Thanks.

Plugin will create lots of users, messages, friends connections, groups, topics, activity items, profile data – useful for testing purpose.
All imported users will have avatars, generated by 8biticon.com and displayed by Gravatar.
Please use this plugin with caution and not on a live site! Again, USE FOR TESTING THEMES AND PLUGINGS, NOT ON A STAGING SITE WITH LIVE DATA. Plugin should not mess with your live data, but not guaranteed.
Clear BuddyPress button will delete all data, that was generated by this plugin: messages, groups, notifications, friends, forum posts, xprofile. Plugin won’t reimport data if clicked twice.
And turn off email notifications in profile (friendship accepted and messages received) – or you will spam yourself 🙂 Imported users have these settings already turned off.

BuddyPress Default Data

This is a great utility plugin. It saved me lots of time and worked perfectly as described.
Thanks Slava!



Easy to use and fast

I love this plugin because it has saved me so much time in the past by automating the members/groups/profiles creation. It's still my 2nd plugin that is installed (after BuddyPress) for any BP-related development site.

Disclaimer: I'm the plugin author.

PS: I'm testing reviews as well.

Love this little plugin!

I use this plugin every time I work on my BuddyPress plugin. Saves me a TON of time adding test users and data. I particularly like the granularity of the data you can add. And the easy removal of test data. Thanks for such a great plugin!

Super helpful plugin. Love it!

Works!

Plugin will create lots of users, messages, friends connections, groups, topics, activity items, profile data - useful for testing purpose.
