I got so tired of the spammers but I don't think that check box is going to stop it because they can just see it and click on it anyways. The only way to get rid of them is to either have a filter on the messages, a moderator, or just report them and have them blocked.
Its a method of confirming you are not a bot posting spam. We had a rash of spammers posting crap to the forums and by making you click that "I'm not a bot" the spammers can't post to the forums. That's what its purpose is! :)

We are so lucky that bots are ethical beings and would never tick that box.

We haven't had any spammers since the installation of the "I am not a bot" checkbox.
