I think since I have joined I have seen maybe 3 spam threads. But 1 way of limiting it would be to have an introductions section (Or just make this in the current newbie area) have all new people only able to post in there but read everything
They can introduce themselves to prove they are not spammers with a "Hi Im from blah and play blah, thinking of doing blah"

Once that has hit the can get upgraded to a normal member and can post in all forums. Limits spam to 1 forum, lets everyone read everything for learning and keeps it all open and friendly.
