Not really. What I did find though was what you can do to nail it down. The spamvertisers mainly advertise through their signatures. Things you can do to tighten up the forums would be these steps.
Install a plugin that adds a tick to users whereby you can turn off the signature option on them.
bubulang authored such a plug and it is working in the forums I have right now. The name of the plugin is "Enable Signature On Group Basis" That will allow you to have a trusted group and the regular registered user. The regular users cannot sig, but perhaps a valued group members could. A neat plugin I wish the MYBB would standardize in their code perhaps next upgrade.
Moderate all posts in forums and let mods decide if they want to approve them or not.
The problem in MYBB is they need more anti spamvertising tools and also blacklist certain @email addresses. While popular, the worst addresses so far have been from gmail, hotmail to a lesser extent and very bad from India's sify.com emails which I think are affiliated as the gmail agent over there. We got tons of bad users from sify.com emails. They mainly were coming from Bangaladesh, Pakistan and India.
