Well you already have me down in your list, but thought I would drop by and say hi from everyone here at Team Kano 
I deal with the general running and administration of the lovely forums, most crucially making sure it stays looking pretty 
I come to the NodeBB forums looking for enlightenment and assistance in dealing with nuisance spammers 
@a_5mith - No good m'duck, I've recently moved up to the Lake District National Park
@baris - We have this installed and configured with akismet key etc, doesn't seem to be stopping the spammers we have, recently I have just changed the forum setting to prevent flooding of posts by using the following settings:
Setting them to 90 and 50 respectively. Unfortunately this setting doesn't seem to have prevented them from posting substantially more threads than this within the timescale. I'll create a proper thread for all this later
