I agree with the earlier comment that it is an arms-race. Forum spam is in many ways similar to email spam, so the first things I thought of were something along the lines of SpamAssassin, or a Bayesian or other type of filter. Depending on the forum software, there may already be tools to do something similar. However, I would not discount the lower-hanging fruit:
Also, have you looked for other resources (generic or specific to your forum software), such as http://www.stopforumspam.com/? Hope that helps, and good luck. Update: 2015-06-10 Update: 2015-06-10
