Programmers develop scripts and use bots to automatically register and post spam. They aren't physically coming here, logging in and posting like the rest of us. They register to multiple forums with their scripts and post bulk spam across many forums at once.

Now I have a new anti spam script that forces you to answer a question rather than enter the 6-character code (bots can read that CAPTCHA code) but they're still getting through.
