Deploy recaptcha under human verification.

It should solve your problem.

Use the search for "recaptcha". You'll find it.

clear you browser cookies, empty prefetch, and flush the dns should fix the problem unless you have been Owned.

ReCaptchas are the only real way to protect yourself from spambots.

Upgrade to vBulletin 3.7.4, and turn on ReCaptcha. ReCaptchas are built into 3.7.4 release.
