No there really isn't a way to get rid of it. When a new member joins you really don't know what kind of poster they are going to be until they actually post. Besides I don't think it really is that much of a "problem". The spam is posted, us mods edit out the spam, everyone on the board ridicules the poster and spam, spammer leaves boards after post, and after being annoying for a maximum of 5 minutes everyone forgets about it. It's usually 1 or so per day, and on a popular board such as this one that is not bad at all. So basically what I say is to just ignore it and let us take care of it, no need to make a big fuss over a small little thing.
