Yep...we get thousands of those. They sign up and post their crap indefinitely. Fortunately for all but our mods, members never see those posts. Until a user has 5 approved posts, their posts do not appear unless approved.
The downside of this is that new users have a delayed experience before they can really engage with the community. While unfortunate, this has proven to be the only effective defence against the bad guys.
