When I moderated a mid-sized forum, pretty much 90% of our spam had a URL in the first post, whereas normal users were pretty much the opposite.
It seemed like sending those direct to moderation would have removed a lot of the work. In the end we just moderated all first posts since it wasn't that much volume and I didn't want to modify the software myself.
Is your spam more complex? I've noticed that it seems to be getting fancier.

But you need some impressive manpower for that, like mods willing to get notifications for each first post. Right now I post registrations and first-posts to a #forum-activity channel on my forum's Discord.
