I agree, those helps but they dont offer 100% protection.

You really need a good team to keep the forum clean and well maintained.

I'm sorry to tell you that the times that conformation mail would stop spammers are over Johnledbetter

It will not be enough to stop them, not the robot spammers and not the human spammers either
