Isn't related to the ConfirmEdit extension.

It is. Captcha is.

Going to be bold and close this as RESOLVED FIXED since I recently fixed the email blacklist, which seems to have curbed spambot registrations nicely.

Reopening as talked about in chat.

Spambots have died down at Brickipedia. Flooding can be dealt per-basis, unless if it happens consistently. Closing this.
