Human Spammers

I'm guessing these spammers searched for "community platform by Xenforo" and just decided to pick a bunch of active Xenforo forums to join. It's odd, I know from time to time members will join and make a introduction topic and leave. I've done this before in the past, because I was in a hurry and joined a random forum then forgot about it. :V
It's suspicious, because it's not like a few members were doing it. I was getting new members daily, and was starting to fill my new posts section with intro posts. It hasn't happened as much since I banned some IP addresses, and switched to KeyCaptcha.

No, they use all forums, not only xenforo. I use PHPBB and I get up to 10 new spamming accounts everyday. That's crazy hun!
