Spam like that is usually caused by bots though. On a wiki that I used to help out with, what we would do to deal with that is

1. Install a Captcha verification system that was up to date against bots, so bots would not be able to register as easily, and
2. Require email verification. Most bot email accounts don't exist, so this narrows down the amount of spamming that can actually happen.
