If we start blocking users who have no previous posts and then post
many new messages at once, then we wll just push the spammers to forge
active list users and reply to threads. That would be a worse
situation then we are in now. I say leave well enough alone.

Read about the Brain Blood Barrier
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Blood_Barrier) for an example in
nature where although a method to stop an attacker exists, it is not
overused to prevent the attacker from becoming more powerful.
