A moderator would have to approve all posts by users with less than 3 posts or something.

Would there really always be a moderator online that would be able to make such approvals in a timely fashion?

Naming one song of Alizée's isn't hard, and just by reading the spammer's post, they have a hard time with english. I doubt they (the spammer) would beable to figure out what the question is asking let alone know where to find the answer. A real registrant would easily beable to find a name of one of the songs, as they are all over this site.

I would guess that more mods would be assigned, except that these mods would only have the power to accept and reject posts

Try it for a week see if it helps.

Are the IP address all unique for these spammers?

Too much work !

Just do what I suggest for AF. Don' allow new users posts link in their first post. Should cut 99% of the spammers off.
