Well I notice this has caught 3 spammers already.  One today and two
posting "visitor messages" (?) over the weekend.

But yes, the settings do need tweaking.

Here's what I see would catch spammers, based on typical spam posts
here:

1.  All posts by users with under X posts containing links would be
moderated.  Don't publish secret number X, I see forum spam software
automatically posts a required number of nonsense messages to get past
this and blast out the spam.

2.  Every new user with a link in their signature has all messages
moderated.  I'm seeing a lot of new users with "me too!" posts followed
by "THE BEST IN WOW GOLD!" links in their signatures.  :-)

And really, this would catch 98% of them.
