Forum rules and AntiSpam policy - Must read before posting!!!

Before registering every user accepts the forum rules. And the first clauses are as follows:

Will users of the forum see my SPAM posts or my ads?
All forum posts are moderated. No SPAM messages are allowed even in the Flame forum. These forums are not a trash can. Do not waste your time posting SPAM messages or ads, because such posts will be deleted immediately before any forum member can see them.

In the description of the Flame forum you may also see the following:

Talk about life, dating or whatever. No spam, no dirty SEO tricks, no web-site ads, no adult content - Don't waste your time posting such threads.

For whatever reason people continue to register and add spam and ad posts. And there 5 to 10 such posts a day so it takes lots of time to delete them. I don't really understand these spammers. Every post is moderated and even moderaters don't read such posts. Most of them are deleted after reading the subject. And I really suggest you to not ware your time by making spam posts and threads.

If we can stop spammers all the users will see the posts earlier so everyone will be able to see a solution for his/her problem earlier.

Are there any effective measures to prevent spam posts in the forums?
