Have you tried vbstopforumspam if its a know spammer then there ip would be blocked

also have you recaptcha installed ? this will slow them down
how many members do you have joining ?
if not many and your around frequently then try moderating new members so they cant post till permission granted

just a few ideas

You could try using "question and answer" human verification, with some simple questions. I believe there are bots that can get past the captcha. But if it's a human, there's not much you can do. You could moderate new registrations, moderate posts of new users, you could require email verification (if you aren't already), you can ban certain email domains.

Thats what I did and it pretty much stopped everything.

What you need is Prevent Forum Spam (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=131568&page=17) by Adrian Schneider. It was developed for 3.6x but users on vb4 are saying that it works fine. Stops spammers in their tracks and it wastes their time and effort in posting :D

This ends all spambots, it has stopped well over 4,000 for me since its installation last October, while interfering with exactly zero humans.
