Unfortunately, they do. 
I checked the support forums of our board software today, and it seems these "logical" posting bots are a growing problem everywhere. For now, I've resorted to banning the whole domain (@sify.com) which some of these spammers use in their sign-up email, but that won't stop the other, bigger domain from which they come from: @gmail.com
Shoot. Firefighting is the only thing we can do for now, it seems. Banning whole IP ranges still seems a bit too drastic for me since we can still keep it under control.

Mix, baka yung lumang 'captcha' yung ginagamit mo, they'll find it easy to work around that. Have you seen/tried reCAPTCHA?

That's the exact one I used.

I vaguely remember an old captcha system back then. Anyway, mukha namang wala pang bots na nakakapasok for now.
