There were several good suggestions posted there already, and our admins here may some others. One that leaps to mind that I did not see is making moderator tools available to more than one person, so review and deletions (or PM's about spam) can be caught sooner and acted upon. Obviously, you have to choose carefully who those tools are provided to.

I can tell you from experience on a couple of other forums that a single moderator hasn't got a chance against a major spam offensive, unless it's their full-time job, which it seldom is.

Make the registration process tougher and keep changing the format?
