While this may discourage genuine new users I think it admin approval on new users should be seriously considered, even if only in the short term until another solution is found, although if they're rolling ip and generating new users I doubt there's not much else the software can do.

Alternatively could there be admin approval on say the first 5 - 10 posts from a new user? not sure it makes much difference than the first option but just another thought.

Unfortunately, while an open access public forum is good for genuine users its obviously open to abuse so I guess it needs locking down a bit.

Just my thoughts
