Anti Spam for nodeBB?

[dangeRuss]

I've been having issues with the spammers creating accounts on my nodeBB forum for a while now. We've added some IP blacklists, instituted email verification and a very simple math question on the sign-up form. While there haven't been very many spam posts, there are still a lot of accounts being registered, and lately with some people's real email addresses. These people, in turn, report the message as SPAM, and now we might get punished by Amazon SES if this is not resolved soon.

Is there anything else I can implement that would deter these spammers a bit more?

Is there an akismet plugin?

We've got /admin/plugins/spam-be-gone here which has Akismet, Project Honeypot and reCaptcha in it. (https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gone)

We've also got StopForumSpam, but that won't pick up real email addresses (might pick up IP's however) but I think that's part of core.
