You are welcome to african top forum.
-Attach here a mod just download it and install it will make any link they post on your forum useless to them, thus they will be discouraged to continue posting. You just set a number of post a user can meet before a valid link is allowed. In this very forum one has to make 40 posts to post a valid link.
-Be banning them with their Ip addresses.
-Increase your Captcha streanth to stop them registering automatically. if you don't want that. as that is common method spammers user.

Try to blog the spammers by applying a spam arrest software.
