On Vbulletin there is a section in the Admin CP thingy that requires an API key etc, we used that, can't remember exactly but I can remember it stopped them completely.. Just search around the Admin CP for something like "Anti Spam"

Get KeyCaptcha for your forum, and have activity within 'real-life players' so they won't come.

I had similar problems on one of my SMF forums some years ago. To protect you from spam, you can either use a captcha system such as KeyCaptcha or Recaptcha, or use Akismet. I personally use KeyCaptcha and I'm very happy with it, not a single bot since I have it.

If you have an SMF forum, check this link for anti-spam modules : http://custom.simplemachines.org/mod...search;type=19
