I agree -- Just a handful the report button works quite well.
Before places existed like stopforumspam with lists of bad actor emails and email domains, using usergroups was the usual goto tool to thwart spammers. Seeing as there are only a few, there's something at work.
Captcha ... ugh ... and half the time, the bots can solve them better than myself.
These days it is now possible sites can be set such that user generated links are not indexed by search engines. Mind that make it hard when all a member can recall is a post with a link that was in it.
