The site should try switching out the old CAPTCHA in the registration for reCAPTCHA. It's a more secure form of CAPTCHA provided for free by Google. A lot of sites have been adopting it lately and they rarely get spam posts anymore. One example would be 4chan, they used to get flooded with spam posts until they upgraded.
Here's the link:

It's not that hard to switch out, you just have to change a few lines of code and then it's done. Things like this have to be kept up to date, bots are constantly being updated to circumvent security feature like CAPTCHA and it can become a real problem if not taken care of quickly.
