I've seen MANY more "members" signing up that are spammers. I had to set the site to manual approval. I now check each one against Stop Spammer's list. However is there a rule of thumb with that? I asked at Stop Spammer and they really couldn't give me an answer. I usually check the e-mail address and the username. If either have any hits I reject it. However on the I.P. address it is possible that the I.P. is a community one right? Any tips would be appreciated. Dame Spammers!

You can install additional anti spam measures such as the httpBL mod

or the Bad Behavior Mod

There's also a mod that automates the checks from Stop Forum Spam, that you have apparently been doing manually.

It was unsticked, not removed.
"The Book of Arantor, 17:3-5
  And I said unto him, thy database query shalt always be sent by the messenger of $smcFunc
  And $smcFunc shall protect you against injections and evil
  And so it came to pass that mysql_query was declared deprecated and even though he says he is not
  dead yet, the time was soon to come to pass when mysql_query shall be gone and no more
