My suggestion that all of the Universal Forums (high value for SEO spam because of all the different web URLs for the same message content) require a user to login would stop a lot of the SEO spam, since the posts would not be visible to search engines.....

I'm not saying that the join date and post counts should be the only thing you look at, it should be taken into consideration. The majority of spam I see are the new users with no posts. With the exception of Nazali's thread that had the title in Klingon, I have no idea why the recent threads were marked as spam, the message content was fine. Like I said, not sure if it was a mistake or someone screwing around.
