On another phpBB board that I'm involved with they use a CAPTCHA for new
user registrations along with a couple extra registration fields. And they
also resort to manual review of suspicious registrations. Have you already
implemented the most popular suggestions from this thread on the phpBB
support forum?:

Preventing Spam in phpBB 3.0.6 and Above [*Read First Post*]

Another general strategy is to use a third-party filtering service, such as
Akismet or Mollom. Not sure that a mod for integrating Mollom into phpBB
exists, but probably one exists for Akismet. You may need to pay something
for the service, though.
