Yup, since a couple of weeks the spammers have found the forum again. So I have activated the feature that requires admin activation of any new accounts, that way I can delete the users before they can start posting any spam. I should also change the registration routine so to prevent bots, but I believe these are non-automatic spammers, people that register manually (and get paid 0.001$ from some evil spam-corporation for every successful registration) so anti-bot techniques won't stop them.
