Suggestion - Require approval on new threads for new users (i.e less than 10 posts)

but you guys are doing a good job cleaning up as soon as they get reported.

Just to note - we don't get those reports. Everything that we Spam Mods clean up is as a result of regularly checking the forums throughout the day. 

The reports go to the 'proper' moderators. 

 
Invision doesn't seem particularly extensible, but it does have some spam and membership options that might be worth exploring.

e.g.

Allow registration, but require approval of all posts

Flag the account for manual review

All taking up moderator time and punishing the innocent, sadly.  I don't see an obvious way to limit a new user's post rate or allow user/community moderation to raise their trust level.

 
Im up early mornings through the week and willing to play whackamole with topics if needed?

 
Whackamole time again...Happy to volunteer for any required bitch slapping.

 
Aaaand here we go again...... unless the forums using ads for dubai call girls as a revenue stream?

 
We knock em down as quick as we can, it's weird though, some join & in less than 15 minutes they've put up 15 threads, which I'm guessing is the limit. 

& then others join & do nothing for a few days, & eventually put up maybe half a dozen threads. 

Weird?

 
I've done 3-4 today I think, the latest a couple of mins ago.

Spam mods don't get the reports.

If in doubt, tag one of us in the thread and we'll pick it up when we next log in (unfortunately we can't setup email notifications for mentions).
