This still is an issue.
It seems that the bots can somehow circumvent the Google Recaptcha v2 so that really needs to be fixed.
Also replace the math captcha with something else, as said -- math captchas has been broken since the 90's.
It's basically a NULL-method to combat spam.
Also do the other things suggested:
1. Remove traces of anything 'M*BB' or 'Powered by' (this will prevent future spam) * = y
2. Remove anything 'Theme designed by' (also to prevent future spam)
3. Remove agreement-stuff at register since this is something that is simple to search for (and confirm as a M*BB) * = y
4. Remove this entire thread since it's filled with phrases simple to search for (and thus confirm as M*BB) * = y
