basically someone needs to know their target in order to spoof....if you dont publish the target then you've made it a bit harder for anyone to spoof you.
if you publish a members login on the web then dont use a members location that is easy to guess.
eventually though, if someone really wants in they will get in....most likely by carding your site and finding your members url.

It probably helps a little, but not much. I've seen pirates use a hacked password to get the members' location. Then, once they have the location for the spoof, it doesn't matter if the password dies quickly.
And, of course, once they post the spoof, no one needs to bother with a password again.
