Thanks for your response Jörgen - I understand this problem perfectly because I see what happens here every day  :-[

A very effective solution is to temporarily block the publication of posts by a new user from the moment they create an account on the forum.
You can also set a time limit between subsequent posts. This effectively blocks automatic post adders.
