They already found us a long while ago, onthe first day, to tell you the truth, you just had a quick response from me, like today, but you got there first, the thread is deleted and the user banned, so no troubles. It seems most spammers cannot get around accoutn activation already and hopefully SMF 1.1 RC3, the current one out, won't see much changes or problems, meaning a closer release of SMF 1.1 Final, thus a stable version, that one has captcha as one of the built in options and has lots of additional functionalities.
I get a message every time a new topic is added so i will know of any spammer around here, even i can't read the other posts, I will get to the spammers.
Edit:
I have also taken out quick reply as a default (remember a thread where you noticed it goign away? That was why), most spammers seem to make use of the quick reply and while I haven't taken it away from the legit users I made it one step harder on spammers, the rest of us can configure it to be shown.
Likewise, if you want to report a post without starting a thread on the issue, though this is perfectly okay, you can do so with the report a bad post link, at the bttom of the post, this is available to all logged users, so anyone throwing offenses, calling out a flame war or breaking the forum rules can be taken to a moderator attention wit that link.

One thing is certain they are registering they jsut don't acticate their accounts or post, which is fine enough to me.

It hasn't been a hard job though, which the bans we have and a lot of them based on hostnames we just have to worry with new spammer sources and not the same ones. Though I have also gone some way to ban some domain names from registrating using a mail address, simply because only spammers came from them.
