Belive me, its usually quicker to just remove the porn link, band the bastard and move on. If you are going to report them to abuse etc etc you will not have time to develop you forum, you will be too busy reporting about every few mins.
You forum software PHPBB in particular is very vulnerable to spamming, perhaps there are some advanced spam filtering system for phpBB I don't know.
In vB what you can do is moderate new users so that they cannot even post at all till you have checked them out and ensure they are not potential spammers, you usally can tell spammers from a mile away when they register.
