In any of these cases, I ban them immediately without even giving them the chance to post.

As for those spammers who've already managed to post (like those this morning), once the spam posts/threads are selected, it takes two clicks to both delete and ban all of the posts and members as a whole.
Just out of curiosity, is there any way to change the sign up process to make it harder for spammer and their bots to gain access?
