This would be my vote.
It's not the spammers who come, spam and go, but the lurking spammers who slow down the site.

A lot of those are probably just plain lurkers. I can only imagine the number of accounts that have been made only to download some covers or just make a request post.

UncleBob:
Folks - don't reply to the spam. All you're doing is wasting your time and bumping the spam to the top of the page. It's not like A.) The spammers will read your replied or B.) Will care about your thoughts regarding their spamming activities.
Report it and move on.
I don't know about any other mods, but whenever I'm at my computer, I get a pop up whenever anyone reports a post (via a notification that I have a new e-mail) and I swing by as soon as I can (which is usually pretty soon).

Cheers, Uncle. Thanks for being on the job. I'll keep doing my part.
