The key to fighting the spam is to keep the spam bots from registering. This hack is the best hack at preventing them from registering.

Spam bots can do the image verification, but they can not think. Read up on/then install this hack and you will solve spam issues.

I have been working on reducing spam on my forums for some time, and I seem to have found a method of virtually eliminating spam from vBulletin forums... I wrote a tutorial on explaining how to do this.

[How To] Reduce spam on your forum

Its been working for me and I have cut spam down to nearly -ZERO- on my forums. Its a variety of hacks and it works.

I use spam to highten the atmosphere of my site. The more users spam the more "damage" their character takes. Hit points hit zero, they can not post until their character regenerates at least one (in about 8 hours). They get experience to level up their character in the RP forums only, so the more they role play the more experience they get, they then can level up and receive more hit points, thus posting more. The more they rp, the more "spam" type posts they can make, but, if too much, their character will be thrown in cells and bid on as a "slave". And as spam bots can not create a character, they can not post, period.

I think by spam they mean bots (usually) registering and posting advertisements - not members being stupid (which is all too common on one of my sites) :p
