Agreed. What would be the cons of requiring accounts to be at least a day/week
old before being able to post?

I agree, it's starting to get ridiculous. I guess whatever spam filtering
system BrickLink currently uses (if any) is just not enough.
I blame the pizza gang for these unfortunate circumstances, it seems they're
always up to no good. 
Some suggestions:
1. Ban Nubs_Select, 1001bricks, and SylvainLS from the forum. That alone will
reduce spam by 17.4%
2. Block posts from users registered in India, Alaska, American Samoa, and APO/FPO
3. Remove the "Sales" topic (or hide it from view, which you can already
do BTW)
4. Automatically block any posts containing the word "gummies" or "escorts"
(sadly not TLG products as far as I am aware)
5. Invest in better technical anti-spam solutions for the site? Maybe more advanced
stuff using IP addresses or account limitations (like time or feedback requirements
to post)
6. Deprecate the forum, as already suggested: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1403154
Just some thoughts

Indeed, some users post more spam than others.
The top five spammers alone are responsible for nearly 40% of all spam!
This needs to end immediately.

It's because BrickLink admins can't or won't implement a keyword
scanning system for new posts that trigger on any spam keywords, and block them,
instead of letting them get posted.
BrickLink admins have to stop making it so easy to post spam messages, if there
is an automatic filter that drops spam posts in the system's equivalent of
/dev/null then spammers will continue to spam the forums with spam posts.
BrickLink will only keep getting spammers until they make it impossible for spam
messages to be visible. The way to do that is what I outlined above.
They have to stop the spam from getting posted to the forums in the first place,
or it's just going to keep happening.
Just my 2c worth ...
Cheers ...

Most other forums I’ve ever been a member of suffer from similar problems
Unfortunately any website which features on search engines is prone to spam (I
think way back BrickLink never used to show up on Google - something to do with
spiders?)
I think there’s more chance of people being convinced to buy pizza than these
spam posts working

Hmm, there used to be a “Why your antispam idea won’t work” checklist for e-mail.
We need one for forums
So, to answer a few suggestions:
— Preventing newbies from asking questions on the forum is not very welcoming,
is it?
— Limiting newbies’ number of posts: most spammers only post once per account
anyway.
— The two previous ideas are worse when “newbie” is defined by feedback instead
of time.
— Captcha: most spammers here are human.
— Location filtering: nope, won’t do.
— Keyword filtering: I want to be able to talk about gummy bears and the new
Ford Escort set!
Silver lining: (most) forum regulars have now learned how to report posts

It would be easier if there were a report post option along with View/Cancel/Reply
on the forum rather than having to go through the problem centre and dig out
the message number.
It's easier to just ignore the spam and move on rather than report the user.

This depends on your default settings: with ‘Compact’ or ‘Brief’, the spam
is easy to ignore, with ‘All’ or ‘Full’ you’ll see them… but then I’m not sure
there’s people reading the forum like that

True true that slipped my mind maybe more then 1 url to a “non approved site”
so for example Facebook, some sketchy gummy site, or eBay (maybe if the url is
for eBay a error pops up saying no links to eBay allowd?)

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that while the spam is annoying,
it's not something that I think is a critical issue. I see 1-2 spam messages
per day, they're obvious spam, I can just scroll on by. Compared to the amount
of spam I see in my emails every day, this is nothing.

I'm not so sure about that - for example, you could have a keyword filter
that only gets triggered if the post includes a link.

If we're doing keyword filtering, then I request that "pizza" be
added to the list of banned keywords. Clearly there is a lot of spam on this
topic!

I like spam. That is how I found my three girlfriends. I have not met them
yet, but they keep asking for plane tickets to get to El Paso. I send the tickets
and no one shows up and they all said it was the airlines fault. So I am ready
to send them cash so they can buy their tickets.
