Well, that all depends on how you define "spam my board a lot".

Do they register and just post bull++++ all the time?

If so, I suggest manual validation of accounts and manual validation of the first 10 posts.

Personally, you should ban all free e-mail accounts. That's how they're spamming your forums by registering over and over again.

For my forum, I personally validate all new accounts. If the e-mail they registered with comes from a free e-mail provider or host, I don't validate them. People who connect to the internet usually pay for their internet service and that internet service provides a paying customer with an e-mail address.

All spammers and trolls use free e-mail accounts because they don't want to he held accountable for their idiotic actions on a forum. Disallowing free e-mail providers is a great way to keep such troublesome members out of your forum.

Just a suggestion.
