They're bots trying to mooch off our google ranks. Instead of trying to get members to click their links via posts or threads. They try and sneak registrations of user accounts onto our forum system. This way they can post links to their sites in their signature, and when google goes through our forums, their sites gain google ranks (aka Google mooching).
What I've been doing is banning the bot and sending their info to glowhost to help prevent them doing it to us again or other sites. Maybe when you do a new version, take consideration of what they put in their signatures when blocking spam bots.
Don't Click these! They may be malicious!
Example of their signatures:
