I am not a big fan of censorship, but maybe requiring a user to have a minimum karma score like 5 or something or requiring that the account be over 7 days old before people can post an article may help to cut down on the obvious spam. I have seen an increased volume around here lately. I would still let them post but flag it so that they are the only ones who see the post.
