I would worry about the ones using VPN's and Proxies in the USA and in the EU
When a new user's first post ...

Those with USA proxies are now not an issue. They were 2016-2018 but haven't seem them recently. I think Jakarta is the biggest center for VPNs soo this is another huge threat...

What about a blacklist of commonly used spammer urls or a list of common phrases to check against that are usually found in their spammy post text before a post is published? If a phrase or url is found the post must be modified or sent for approval?
Just some ideas

The problem with that is the words used probably overlap with many legit posts that are promotional in nature --like posts of the approved vendors and OFFICIAL threads.
However the 11th - ? post --if it contains a link could be held in a moderation queue ... that's a possible
Most (99.999% (I used to have a company called 5Nines)) are caught in our two traps. One on the server that catches some monster offenders, and the others are trapped by our StopForumSpam integration. Hard to believe, but we trap thousands a week with these two traps. The ones that get through are using fresh IP's, fresh emails, or are first timers (this is most of the ones that get through I think).
I go through all of the ones trapped by the SFS Database because a few innocent ones get trapped there and I have to get them out of jail.
The ones that get through, well, you guys jump on them, tie them up, twist them into a pretzel, and leave them in a puddle of their own blood by the time I get to read your spam reports to me.

I was thinking of a perpetual spam hell-hole. One good spam deserves a spammy answer.
Well could sell pay-per-views
Yeah, you could bug them about their expiring vehicle warranty everytime they click something!!

Or you could let them stick around and make views and when they post something it looks to them that it was published but in reality they are the only ones that see it.
