I dont know. Spammers and hackers are on the rise and it is a very difficult for any web master/admin to deal with.
But basically it has to be stopped at new member registration, and understand that most spam is done with auto register/spammer programs.
So you could add the question to the registration "Are you human?
or ad image recognition, (those squigley goofy numbers and letters)
vBulletin, (the people who make the software for this and many other forums) has their own forum
and an example of one spam fighting thread
Forum Robot Spam Prevention Recommendations - vBulletin Community Forum
I would think Internet Brands (who owns this and many other forums) could get off their rears with some big time support and give the admins here some spam fighting tools.
