Looks like someone has discovered the open registration for the board. This happened at my BBS and after I got tired of remove users and posts, I had to implement changes to the login process. That worked for a couple of days until they adjusted. Within days I had over 2000 accounts auto posting and I finally had to disable public account creation.
I don't know the answer to spammers, but if they follow the pattern I saw, they're about to get out of control here.

One of our members has reached out to the Administrator to block them.

The number of spam posts is relatively modest, as these things go (As a forum admin I dealt with tens of thousands of posts from Chinese spammers on another message board a month ago. It got out of hand when I was busy with other things in life and hadn’t checked in for a couple months.)
This spammer only seems to post at certain times of the day that suggest they work for a living and don’t really have an automated posting system - just tedious copy and paste and post. So far I’m finding it rather easy to bypass their posts.

Not sure if this software is capable, but I would suggest blocking IPs.
