Stopping this type of spam

Alright, this new type of spam is driving me insane. It's always a similar format - mostly Indian "Love Potion" or Chinese - from seemingly random IP addresses. I've repeatedly banned certain IP ranges. No doubt its a bot, but there's at least some human involvement too.

Things I have installed:

Spam-O-Matic (registered with stopforumspam)
Bad Behavior
Latest re-Captcha (new users use it with every post)
The site is behind (paid) Cloudflare
vB v4.2.3

Any ideas on how to stop this for good?
