I think we need to add a couple more barriers to prevent spam. What about limiting posting to X amount of posts, or for new users or something?

    So all their posts/comments are hidden from everyone, until an admin manually approves? It sounds like a good option, but would require a bunch of work to implement. Mostly frontend changes for the review, on the backend it mainly needs a new user column bool reviewed_by_admin.

      Yeah like that. It is a common way to fight spam on traditional forums and is pretty much the only thing that consistently worked for me in 15+ years moderating forums with huge spam problems.

      More than reviewed by admin, would be reviewed by moderators of the specific community.
