We had one spammer register with a username that contained a strange character in it; the forum software could display it but it could not be copy-and-pasted into text boxes. Xyzzy had to manually ban him via SQL :)

Spammers just keep getting smarter and smarter. I suspect not many sysops would know how to use SQL directly and the spammers end up never being blocked, posting their crap and annoying mods who have to keep deleting it.
