Yes, that's the reason the spam checker shouldn't just be
disabled when the user is registered.
Never mind it was a bad idea because a noob spammer can still
register by hand and let his bot run afterward with right reg
info stored for this site.
I don't know how look the "professional" spam programs but they
are probably fully automated, e.g almost never anyone is behind
the screen. I remember a few years ago I had a BB forum and the
captcha didn't prevent some spamming bots to auto-register,
though it was probably due to a security hole at this time.
