Our community is relativity small and setup for users in a small geographical region.

It's not really weird at all. The add-on depends on a database of spam reports from other forums. If kfrosty's forum appeals to a small circumscribed geographical forum, it is probable that many of the spammers s/he is attracting are not in the more general spam database. Remember that NOT being in the database doesn't guarantee that the new registrant is not a spammer.
I don't think this add-on is really designed for such a forum. You are probably further ahead using other options for minimizing spam, including:
- requiring admin moderation of all new registrations
- using the built-in Akismet antispam feature to route posts with certain keywords to the moderation queue
- using Valter's add-on to prohibit live links for new members below a certain number of posts
- using banning by IP address for those who slip through
