This spam is starting to get unbearable. I only hope that something can be done to stop it. There has to be a combination of anti spam measures to make it almost imposable for spambots to register. I remember a few forums had a question to where you had to go back and search for a random word in the TOS to answer the question, then the standard capcha and a few other questions like history, math or other, or a form of Simon Memory Game, or a simple drawing board to copy what image you see. multiple layers of antispam measures should make it hard for them to register, the only ones it wont stop is human spam.
I think the admin need to consider on selecting a few trusted members for a anti spambot squad to delete spam posts (following a protocol on PMing the admin the spambots email, links, user name, signature and so forth) . The issue is that people are clicking their links, when they click the links it makes this community forum a target to even more spambots. the spam posts are not being deleted fast enough. the account might be banned but their posts remain and links are still active. the users need to learn not to post on spambot posts and stop clicking their links, many of those links are more then just links to a standard web page and most are not just for advertising.

Spambots are heartless, but not as heartless as the one who pulls the trigger
