As you have mentioned in the other post where you only "promote" a poster after "a number of posts". I think it is obviously unnecessary. One will mostly know if a poster is going to post spam or not after his first post. After his first post, if it is a non-spam post, he should be (manually) promoted to a level where his posts will appear immediately. Do you have to wait until "a number of posts" to "promote" him ?
I guess I'll have to leave the question to others. I'm pretty new at this stuff, and have little of the experience needed to really get into it. I do know that the past has shown that MANY other mechanisms were inadequate, and as I mentioned, there are still spammers trying hard to muck up the waters. I'm pretty sure a "one post" rule would not deter spammers at all, though.
