The fellow that runs the site is aware of the spam and has already deleted quite a bit of it. Let’s hope there’s a way to stop it. It keeps getting weirder and weirder!

Any and all suggestions to preventing these are welcome. I'm just deleting them manualy, I don't know what else to do. The usernames and IP addresses and emails are all just random letter strings, and they are never repeated so IP and username blocking are useless.
The only other alternative I can see within this software is to impose an audited signup process. Someone, not me, would have to receive signup requests, approve them then enter the new user manually into the system.

This is NOT email, its a forum so this is not necessarily spam we're dealing with.
These are actual people signing up and posting messages. Spiders and robots can't read the image with the number you have to enter when signing up.
I have no idea how to stop them except for the audited signup process I mentioned above.
