Yes. Some spamming can be very benign and almost look legit. Often the preceding post will even be referred to in the spam reply.

Fortunately any registration and all of the posts made under it can all be deleted pretty easily and quickly. Vbulletin has been around a long time and they have a lot of tools available administratively to limit spamming as much as possible.

One my most heavily travelled site, I will get between 40 and 60 new registrations every day. I manually process every one of them as well and always weed at a few spammers in that process. It's just one of those things you wind up having to put up with running any site that allows input from users.
