@ OP

We use phpbb, but the only way we made spam minimal is by...

1. custom mandatory profile field in registration page

2. must have at least 1 approved post before they can go posting on they're own

3. newly registered users can't post links

That stopped 99.9% of my spam at the door. The rest gets stopped at moderation que for approval or dismissal. No spam makes it to the forum, members have no idea people even want to spam the forum.
