Even if we do block guests, these bots are still somehow managing to register and post that way. Although I will say the majority of the spam comes from guests.
At least its not as bad as it was before when we didn't have any spam protection...
I'd wake up each morning, log on, and see shambler shit loads of spam, just laughing and staring at me in the face. I would literally take a half hour to delete it all...

blocking guests isn't the issue. These bots have their own way of getting through the phpbb code (phpbb isn't secure) and being able to post. You could block people from registering and they'll still get in.
FvF is a good place to hang out but not a good place to fight.

We could try the alterations to the yes/no mod I posted here:

It might confuse a few of the spambots and stop them....
