Anyone else getting an increase in spam?

It looks like bots, it sounds like bots, but there are no links!

Its well strange, getting around 5 a week, signing up with mad email addresses and making 1 post, and thats it.

I must admit, 1 of them was quite clever, and it said has anyone seen 'something'

So I did a google search for that word, and then clicked on the top link, and it took me too some software site.

But I just dunno how they are slipping through, and I can't ban them, as some seem like genuine posts, as they are asking for help, or saying hello and complimenting the forum!!

Catch 22

Anyone else getting posts like this?

Well... good site...
Wher search-page on your site.
Can you help to me!?

P.S. Anybody know about XRumer 5.0 software? Need a link to it...

The above was gthe software one, which when I done a search I did find it on other forums, but others are quite difficult to spot.

Thoughts?
