Maybe they are using a newer bot software, if so there may be a weakness that we can use to block them, such as the "Man" in the profile field

Can someone please check and post the timezone they are selecting when they register?

That was I was thinking of as well and from the looks of it, it can bypass nospam as well.

Block all 3 of those, no english speaking countries involved, and a legitimate member is smart enough to just select a different time zone, the bots are automated and wont be able to

If that does not work I recommend trying vbStopForumSpam. I installed it a few hours ago and it has stopped over 25 spam registrations already. (its in the vbulletin 3.6 mods but works with my site which is 3.7)
