I personally think that if a member has not misbehaved in three posts it’s unlikely the individual is a spammer or a one off troll.
It is extremely frustrating to be treated like a kid. I think the admin staff and mods should re-evaluate this process.

I have to back Jason (Boots) on this issue.

I own a forum as well, and these spam attacks almost always occur in the middle of the night (when admin is most likely not online)

There is software called "blog blaster" that silently registers on forums and plasters ads for fake rolex watches, Viagra, software, etc....

This procedure is the ONLY way to keep this sort of thing from happening.

Once a new member establishes themselves, open posting can be allowed.

It's just a sad fact in today's online society. Or cyber society.
