Kind of.
I help moderate VGCollect and the forum was swarming with tons of spambots all the time. I ended up suggesting that they install the Stop Forum Spam plugin after I used its services at my website to stop comment spam and it worked wonders. Now we only get like one spam message a month.

It helps stop most bots, but a few will still get through.
