I've got to say, the amount of spam posts is making the site nearly unusable for me;

I used to be a more prolific poster, but it's just too discouraging to sift through the "real" posts sometimes, and i shrug my shoulders and spend less time here than I used to.

I would suggest adding a quick feature to delete posts for users in a certain access group,and to recruit some of the more active posters here to help police and prune the posts until a better solution is created.
