I think we need to add a couple more barriers to prevent spam. What about limiting posting to X amount of posts, or for new users or something?

So all their posts/comments are hidden from everyone, until an admin manually approves? It sounds like a good option, but would require a bunch of work to implement. Mostly frontend changes for the review, on the backend it mainly needs a new user column bool reviewed_by_admin.
Yeah like that. It is a common way to fight spam on traditional forums and is pretty much the only thing that consistently worked for me in 15+ years moderating forums with huge spam problems.
Sounds good, would you like to open an issue for this?
backend or frontend side?
Backend
More than reviewed by admin, would be reviewed by moderators of the specific community.
