spam on webiste

This one is interesting - it self-identifies as a bot, and it isn't exactly malicious. But what bothered me is that it walked right past the filters that first posts by anyone must be approved by an admin. Just had another one do the same thing. And it seems like it doesn't even show in the spam logs, so they're getting these posts in without being logged? Curious...
