They have become much more creative. The goal for the one in this thread seems to post a semi related reply and then add a signature weeks or months later.

The stephenmildred post signature is very clever. The site it sends you to a page which looks normal to a browser but when a search engine hits it, it will show cross spam links to increase google rankings.

These seem to be human assisted spamming so more complicated capcha and such wont keep them out. A real bummer. The only temp solution I can think of is to block google mail as 99% of spammers use that, but that would block A LOT of legitimate users as well.
