You know, I find the new moderate posts settings are catching a lot of
them before they post.  I found 3 or 4 over the weekend, each trying to
post 3 or 4 threads.  That's a lot of spam the users will never see.

It seems the big spam times are Friday and Saturday nights, with minor
spikes weeknights in the wee hours.

I really think you could capture 99.9% of the spam if:

1.  All posts from new users were moderated until X posts are achieved.
Keep X a secret and change it once in a while.

2.  After X posts are achieved, keep any new user posting URLs or
containing URLs in their signature on moderated status until Y posts
are posted.  Again, keep Y a secret and change it once in a while.
