How about a one-hour delay between account creation and posting rights? I think it would help a lot.
Otherwise how about some dedicated spam mods? Some folks with 1000 or more posts (AKA "those without lives") to just kill spam.
sumpn's gotta be done though.

we've just upgraded the board and i need a few more days to go through it to make sure it's set up properly and that all of the mods are working (there's like a dozen of them). this should help with the spam, apparently.
if not, we'll just have to put up with it.
the thing would be to encourage the existing moderators to keep a better eye on the spam (myself included).
