PR4 Problem

Okay, this has gotten a bit out of contol and I need some guidance on what to do.

I have a simple link directory (using phplinkdirectory script) website that is niche specific. I've been slowly but surely building this directory and finally about two weeks ago got a PR4 rank. Ever since I got a PR rank with google I'm getting hit with with spam submissions for pre-paid phone cards, cheap long distance, online pharmacies, etc, etc.

This has never happened until the very second I got a PR rank. Every since then it's a daily occurence.

I have visual confirmation on the submit page so these people must be doing it manually.

How are they finding me? Is this a robot.txt issue? I'm presuming spiders or robots. Is there a way to block them without blocking the legitimate spiders. I looked in my control panel and the only unknown spider is labeled "crawl" if that helps any.
