In your administrator controls for your message board you should have options to increase security measures and enable captcha for new user accounts. You can also set it so that new user accounts require your approval to join or have to respond to an email to receive their password. Check your documentation that came with your forum software.

ban users.
That reactive action would be pointless since the user accounts are generated through an automated script. Once the account is made and an advertisement post is made that account never gets logged in again.
