A few simple things.
I'd block messages with URLs in the title.
You could also block (put into moderation) any message with a URL until say 10 posts.
You may also be able to reduce the number of posts an individual can do per day (until a threshold of posts).
And many of these use Chinese characters - so send any posts with Chinese characters to moderation.
(Just in case ... you've never changed PHP ... if this MyBB is like PhPBB, there will be software "addons" that you can install. Alternatively, you'd have to change the PhP code. That's not as difficult as it sounds - but it does mean there's the risk of losing all the protection every time the software is updated (as it tends to overwrite whole files).
OK - JUST LOOKED AT I CANNOT SEE ANY SUITABLE MODS.

Oh the grand oh Duke Suetonius, he had a Roman legion, he galloped rushed down to (a minor settlement called) Londinium then he galloped rushed back again. Londinium Bridge is falling down, falling down ... HOLD IT ... change of plans, we're leaving the bridge for Boudica and galloping rushing north.
