Actually, after looking at it, unless I'm missing something, it's not possible to set an allowed or disallowed value. You can restrict character types on text boxes and set bounds on the allowable entries for numeric fields, however if you enter a number outside of that range it tells you what the minimum/maximum number is as the case may be.

I'm hoping the bots aren't smart enough to pick up on that.

Can you have the form pass the input in that field to a script on your server which would then compare it with the allowed value and pass either a "fail" or "pass" to the submission return?

Sure, but again, I don't want to make modifications like that because it makes updating an even bigger pain in the * than it already is.

I'm seeing this in multiple threads, would a report function be worthwhile in the long haul?

Funny thing there was one relevant post and the rest was spam, wondering if they're paying people to do this crap.

Sir Cairbre mentioned something about this guy and asked me to draw it to your attention:

memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=4

:devil:

Seriously if you need help on this eventually there's a handful of folks that'd be dedicated no doubt, Big Jimmy I think has been pretty dedicated. The folks that have had consistant posts on this thread would be another example, I'd offer myself but I'm not as consistant, no doubt you'd be able to overview their decisions anyhow on simple deletions, I've done admin on other forums and it was pretty easy to look over that sort of thing than deal with it as one person as available vs. multiple persons, just throwing it out there...

For extra lolz it is in a thread started by a bot with replies to the bot. Maybe just nuke the entire thread?
