Well, I'm no coder so I can't tell you if this will work and it is just an idea......
What about having the user been redirecting to a thread, after registering, called "introduce yourself" to write a few words about himself and if he don't do it, he get banned directly.
...or there could also be a textfield at the registration site that feeds that thread and if leaving empty no registration is possible.
A lot of spam bots simply fill in all fields of the registration form 
And some forums do put newly registered users into a more restrictive usergroup that can only post in an Introduction forum and then promote the users after they post.
ohh, that's how it works....of course just some rubbish stuff.
What about that "math sum" thing Savvy mentioned here
http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=14069&p=1
..that sounds good - a spam bot can't count, I think...
Where can I get that mod from?
(sorry about my English)
What if to put a textfield, named "dont write here if you are not a bot" ?
I belive, that it is posible to find many interesting ideas, based on previous (maybe even randomizer for such fields and their positions on each forum)
...hmmm, and a bot would fill the textfield? Good idea, I think
