I HATE spam.

I have a spam filter on my ISP's mail server and spam filters on my computers and I still have to sort through it sometimes.

I have never seen a forum without spam. The form where I last participated regularly had spam-itis. They recruited over a dozen volunteers to delete the spam that got through and they still couldn't keep up. The forum was getting miserable and everyone started arguing.

Do whatever you have to in the most cost efficient way. If I can help by waiting a bit for my first posts to show, I am honored to contribute so effortlessly to the effort.

I can't help but notice the paradox, this thread on spam has completely filled the new posts box, obfuscating new post much as spam might.
