Well, if the spammer is human, what stops him from making one extra post in which he/she introduces him/herself? And then continue spamming?

Got a point there, but most seem pretty lazy and never return after the first (now) spam post. So maybe it could work

jesus, spamfest.
Okay I've now enabled dns spamcheck/blacklisting which unfortunately will do dns lookups before allowing posts.
The downside may be increased posting times.

How about kimsmarkin memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=16082He looks genuine enough, but his syntax is off. Also, he has 5 posts, all made on one day in one subforum.

Another one which looks pretty real to me. But well, double dots on the end of each sentence and the nickname. viewtopic.php?p=213290#p213290zach9891

I've just recompiled PHP with GD support and changed the captcha for one with some random muff bits

There's still humans, can't kill those guys... well I can, but then we'll no doubt have zombies.
Zombies... they creep me out.

What about this: everybody has to PM you before they can post. You have to filter out which ones are not spambots. That way only your PM box is spammed.
