Think these are a couple of copy and paste bots, or at least they're copy and pasting responses several times:

Little proposition... perhaps could could get a general sense of where the traffic is coming from (through the proxies).. and perhaps ban said countries of origin from being able to register.
That seems a little extreme.
I have a message board of my own that got hit by spam bots, and to solve it, we ended up having discovered the source countries from where the spam was coming from, so we banned those countries, and voila, no more spam. lol. Yeah, it was at the expense of potentially banning some potentially new legit users from those 'banned' countries... but the board was a lot better off without the spam. The people who registered from those "banned" countries had to be manually approved by a moderator or administrator, so we got all the 'legit' users.
tl;dr: Ban countries that spam from registering, by sending them to a "moderating" queue, and manually approve users that mods think are legit. This quickly weeds/purges out the fake accounts.

This bitslovers23 user keeps on posting links to a fake Washington post site that tries to instal crap on your comp. They've done it a few times now, but the threads and message contenting keep changing to "...". Don't know it a mod is zapping them or what.

The above users seem to be often copying and pasting the entire content of messages and/or threads (including activity and post count etc). Not sure if they're bots, but more probably are just users trying to bolster their post-count, but either way they're spamming.

I don't know whether these are just users copying and pasting stuff or spam bots, but I've seen a few users posting almost exclusively the same "hey, i am fresh here" over and over or copying and pasting the entire page as a comment. Here's a few;
