I do check them as well and will delete obvious spammers.
As for anti-spam measures I have a few tricks that I can look into implementing. One of my favorites is that instead of admin activation- which is tedious to tell who is a bot and who isn't, you instead make it so a new account has to have its first 3 or so posts moderator-approved.
Spambots will happily do their thing, but it will NEVER be visible on the forum other than to moderators/admins. It can be quickly cleaned up that way, and the spambots will move off on realizing that their garbage is not visible.
This sounds good. Spambots make a post, they get purged as soon as that happens
the "purge spammer" button is my favorite feature of this software.
