We Moderators at the mozillaZine fora, do a similar thing with any new registered Accts.
Any spam we see or is reported from an un-registered user is immediately "canned."
Sorry. I just had to say that.
If a newly registered user submits a post then it does not appear to the General Public until it's been verified as legit.
&.....You have to careful when blocking IP's.
The "Stop forum spam" site is one of the sites we use to check them.
Takes a while to perform all the checks etc., but as I am the only Mod on at certain times, (the others are all either asleep or doing their jobs), then it's up to me to kill all the idiots, ie; until another Mod comes on-line.
