Wondering if anyone can help with the below

Use stopforumspam.com plugin for vBulletin. It will mostly diminish spam signups.

Good luck!

What version of vBull? There are built in controls in the newest verions. You can turn on CAPTCHA responses, or as I prefer, put in a custom question like 'what colour is the ocean'.

Device dependent and visual, too. So it's inaccessible as well.
