How do they catch me??

Thats not correct, the same password will have the same hash unless they are salted. It has been shown by identity theft that many of the big web companies don't use salts (or other absolute basic security measures) numerous of times.
Hi,
have a look at this:
https://panopticlick.eff.org/
It's called browser fingerprint. They can collect all the plugins, resolution, colour depth and a lot other settings you have set in your browser and computer. From this they generate a often unique profile of your browser.
POF is using it for example, that's why some people tell you to reinstall your windows once your banned or use 6-7 browsers. But you don't need it. Go to that site let your browser getting tracked and then change your resolution and let it get tracked again. You'll see that your browser is the second time unique again.

First, take care of your browser. The most spartan and anonymous addon I've found is JonDoFox, though there are many others the same reliable.
Anyway, I have been in your situation many times on different platforms, and without any doubt, the resource that helped me the most, is ip-check.info. Give it a try and you will see that it has nothing to do with some other shitty browser checkers. You will surely find the problem testing your settings there.

DPI. If China can track a user through a Tor network and terminate the connection do you not think that a large site can use the same methods to detect a unique fingerprint? Enable and disable plugins to create unique browser fingerprints. Keep your browser in private mode. And change your IP frequently if you have a dynamic IP.
So they're going to sit there and generate passwords until they find a matching hash. Then they're going to compare that password to every password of every user to try to find a pattern? Unlikely!
Whilst what you've said is true - they're not going to do the steps I described above. So for all intents and purposes they effectively have no visibility of the password (with or without salting).

Stop arguing. It is either the proxy or the domain of the email.
The guy is most likely using a godaddy email with his own domain.
It got banned after frequent use.

There is one other possibility that no one has mentioned.
Some sites have a black list of keywords. If you try and sign up with a blacklisted keyword keyword you will get your account banned straight off. This depends on your niche obviously.
Test it out make an account with your real IP and not a proxy using the same keywords & see if it still happens.
I know squidoo started using a keyword blacklist a bit before they went nofollow so its safe to assume tumblr etc do as well.

And install BetterPrivacy plugin for your browser.

its the proxy. they blacklisted it after determining it was used for no good purpose (multiple use detection)
thats why it is very important to rotate the proxy after each register, account creation, post, etc every time you visit a site.
every imer should do this due to the limited pool of proxies

UPDATE:
I downloaded the Better Privacy plugin to get rid of Flash cookies. My process is to clear the cache, delete cookies, delete Flash cookies, close and reopen the browser.
I thought this would work, but I just tried to create a new account on Tumblr. When I tried to log in, I got an "incorrect password" message (even though I'm 100% sure it was the password I set up) I requested a password change email, which I used to set a new password, but I got an "account terminated" message.
All I can think of now is that the paid proxy I'm using has been used before on Tumblr for spam. This isn't really a huge deal; there are plenty of other web 2.0 services that don't care or don't have the methods to detect this. I'm just wondering how I could get around it, because Tumblr and Wordpress (the ones who seem to terminate accounts immediately) are very high PR.
