We've always been battling them since some time ago -they're the bitcointalks and the mtgix scamming group. There is anything theymos can do to stop these trolls?

IP banning tornodes and open proxies works great.

I don't know if SMF supports this but one method that people have reported great success with is disabling the ability to post external links for new users. Bot tries to send its message, it doesn't go through due to the spammers link, bot sits there not knowing what to do.
