Spam is simply just a post that you can keep scrolling by, so just ignore it...

Do nothing about them and it is going to drive genuine members away.

Popeye is right, I've been doing my best to delete the spam and block the fake users.

How about using this but its no use knowing who they are unless they are kicked off the forum.

What I then did was to install the Plugin Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count - vBulletin.org Forum and, IF, anyone manages to post then are unable to post a live link. This has options to set up which means that the poster has to have posted 10 times before they can post a live link, or 3 or 4 or whatever. You can select different usergroups to be restricted, so that some usergroups can still post live links. I have set up an usergroup which is not selectabe on my forum board as not being restricted and when I am happy that they are kosher I transfer these users to this new group.
