It seems to me I had to fill a bot prevention box during registry, But I have found yet another set of spam threads.
Out of curiosity, Have you considered setting the post new thread permissions to a required post count, only allowing new threads to be started by users who have reached the minimum post requirement, or restricting new users to a specified aria?
For example, say a five or ten post minimum before new users are permitted to make new threads, and/or restricting new users to say "Cafe TPF" until they have a few posts under their belts.
I've seen it work rather effectively in the reduction of standard issue spam on a similar sized if not larger forum.
