Spam bots beats Moderation to register-- HELP

Hello, I turned on moderation for new registrations but I do not know how 50 percent of the bots still manage to register and are listed as new members. This is particularly tedious since I have to delete each new user one after the other unlike if they had been cued for moderation.
Please help. I have 3 forums and they are all driving me nuts.

but still you can install a few helpful addons/hacks, just type what i said above ;)

are you using captcha?

you might consider the one-touch spam ban and clean mod, also. very handy for the human spammers that make it by captcha ;)
