Thanks for the suggestions. The For Sale subforum is not busy so not sure it is worthwhile to enable additional rules on selling a dash cam.
As mentioned in this thread, there is a tradeoff between having an "under review" moderation. It reduces spam but is a disincentive to posting since the new user doesn't get the instant gratification when joining. Also adds a lot more moderation effort.
Note there are some spam prevention tools built into Xenforo that prevents many of the spammers from getting as far as posting. But some do get through. Just looking at February, so far 8 got through, so an average 1 every 3 days. While not great, it isn't too bad. Spam users are easy to clean up, 1 click of the button they are deleted including all of their posts.
If spam increases, will consider more stringent prevention techniques.
