I've seen that Korean stuff before, on the ACDSee User's Forum site. It took them quite a while to get it under control. I wonder what the purpose of it is.

I am located in Germany and see this morning two instead of 10 pages with spam which is good.
What about the idea of filter for asian characters in the preference settings or moving such blogs into an own forum like «asian user». |

Looks like they figured a way around the new controls already.

It doesn't work anymore. Maybe putting more restrictions on new members. For example:

I have a suggestion that might help if it could be implemented. When a user is banned, an option to delete all posts and all threads started by this user. That way, all the spam threads would go at once for each username. |

IMHO, the easiest solution would be to check the language of posts. AFAIK, vBulletin can be customized with PHP libraries and since there are a couple of ready-made language detection PHP libraries, e.g. language-detection, it should be relatively easy to implement a filter that'll reject posts by new members that aren't in French, German, English or Spanish.
It should also be able to detect Korean characters with one of the following regular expressions: Code:
[가-힣]+ Code:

And all of a sudden we will have auto translated spam in French, German, English or Spanish.
