It's less to stop member but more to stop people who come in and register on the forum just to post advertising on there. I think some use software so that they can put similar posts on hundreds of forums.

THis hack will identify the spam posts using pattern matches then prevent regular users from seeing the posts on the forum. As a moderator or admin you will still be able to see the posts on the forum, if any of the posts are in fact geniuine posts then you can make them visible to the forum users easily using built in vBulletin moderation commands.
