FWIW, I have not been moderated and I have Last.FM in my sig. The
message I posted yesterday with 15 last FM links wasn't moderated
either.

What about using a captcha for new members' first 5-10 posts? Do they
stop human spammers or just spam-bots?

Then again, maybe the newbies will call support when they realize their
post won't appear right away and it will reduce the number of "doesn't
work" rants. ;-)
