Jason, the problem is that these scums keep changing their email - by the time an admin can delete their account they have already abandoned it and moved on to another!
Only answer is to have active moderation where a moderator must approve all posts from a new account until the owner has "proven themselves". I would also volunteer as a co-moderator, if we can get maybe half a dozen of us splitting the task then new posts could be approved fairly quickly.
