By default, TT uses StopForumSpam as a check on spammer registration via the app. So, let's say a spammer who isn't blacklisted by SFS does get through via TT. That is fine, the Human Spam moderation part of the Spaminator takes care of its spammy posts, if any.

IF the site has TT set to where the TT user must use the vBulletin registration form, same thing. If he is a human he will have no problems getting registered. Spaminator is designed to go totally unnoticed.

Because XRumer and other automated registration/posting systems allow IP and user agent spoofing, I am yet to see a actual spammer using a actual real mobile device, to spam. But, he's covered if he does - whether he gets registered via TT or by the native vB register form.
