There is a plugin that checks new accounts against a known spammers

The amazing thing is that we already have a image, so they are using
OCR (Optical character recognition)?
very likely... they have been making large strides in passing automated
captcha...
Maybe harder images would be a solution?
that and possibly even special questions that only humans can answer...
what forum software is it? my phpBB3 gets beat on daily but no spammers
have been successful at getting in... then again, my IDS/IPS also has
special rules to detect such attempts and blocks them at the perimeter
so they don't beat the forum server to death ;)
This doesn't prevent password guesses.
true but blocking on too many failures does ;)
this is also used for many ftp, telnet, smtp, imap, and pop3 servers, just to
name a few ;)
