Just realized that we have captchas for registration... maybe we can experiment with any of this solutions:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-captcha-free/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/super-capcha/

Possibly we may just need test them one by one and observe how it improves situation.
