I see you've deleted the obvious spam accounts. But thousands remain, as indicated by there being no activity since registration. Can you, as administrator, identify and mass delete those? I think you'll find many of those (mainly the ones created in recent weeks) will return and post spam. Also, just being rid of all those should make it easier to identify and deal with whatever gets by the new controls.

So I see...We lost half our members! :o ;D

And new spam accounts are still being added. :(

The new addons report 14 blocked attacks within the last hour, so I hope that the amount of successful attacks will at least drop...

That is promising.

It's much better with those gone. If you could isolate those with last activity within a few minutes of registration, many more could be deleted. Some of those would be real people, but if they registered, browsed for a few minutes, then never returned, the account may as well be deleted.

Also, if you can isolate accounts with signatures but no posts, those are very likely spam accounts (with links in the signatures).
