Stopping spam bots from registering?

Hey,

I've recently noticed over the past week now, spam bots have been trying to register to my forums. It directly sends them to the user approval/rejection list but it's still a hassle because it's roughly 10-15 at once. I added questions and reCAPTCHA to my registration, and they're managing to still attempt to register.

They're generally like this:
User: cyrilbechjhzl (grahamclyde43+548283865@gmail.com)

Any way I can prevent this from happening? Also, my "user approval" feature is off but normal users sometimes have to be approved by staff. Why is this?

Thanks for the help!
