saraedward. Although this user didn't post any spam on any post, the signature is pretty damn spam-like, the only post made is simply "good sir", and the username is shady as hell. If this isn't a spambot, I'm eating my hat.

Pretty sure this is a spam bot (funny spam to me):

Car repair may save some money if we have some idea about car repair and can manage it own at any place. I am having a Volkswagen car which has problem in car battery. Every time the battery dries so I have given to the <a href="Volkswagen">http://www.germanformula.com/volkswagen-repair/">Volkswagen Repair in Happy Valley OR</a> for repairing as it is the best repair centre of that area and price is also affordable.

.. and those are just the ones I've banned between going to bed and 8am this morning, not including any yesterday.

It appears to be one person, setting them up semi-manually so bot filtering wont work. Can't see what IP or email services he's using from my end. So some sort of shadowban, geofilter, or new account delay for anything suspiciously close?

http://www.carmageddon.com/users/trrtkjgkfj &lt;- maybe a bit thought-crime'y but I banned this one temporarily 1 minute after creation as it seemed to fit the spammers pattern even though it had no posts. I'll happily apologise to the user if it turns out to be legit which I really doubt.

I that the only way of stoping spam bots is to put a captcha for new posts

It may be a human making the accounts but the posts are definitely robots
