My forum is being constantly being spammed for no reason and the main culprits are from this site, as they have hot linked images and spammed before.

I have filled in a TOS but nothing has been done as of yet. I keep banning them but they make new names.
I'm at my wits end with it all!
I really don't know what to do now..

In the TOS report you did supply as much evidence as possable right? Sometimes it takes up to 72 hours for the TOS department to get to your report. Keep in mind it's Tuesday and there might be a backlog from this past weekend.

Did you ban them by there IP address, username and email address?

I filled it with what they had basically done. I have banned all the usernames, IPs and emails. But they keep coming back

Sounds like they get a proxy IP address to get to the board.

Best thing to do for now is disable signups or set "limit registration" to YES in general settings in your admin panel and approve accounts when new members register.

If you disable signups for a week or two, those spammers should get the hint that they unwanted. Let's see what proboards staff can do for you. They will be online in 1 or 2 hours.

I'll disable sign ups

Thanks for the help Snakeair

Your welcome.

Unfortunately, unless it can be proved that the main admin is the one causing the problem, nothing can be done
