That's a tough one.
I haven't seen any of the "incursions" so I am not sure of the nature of the rogue posts.
I imagine their idea is to get links within the posts that either promote dodgy products or load some form of malware. If this is the case would it be worthwhile introducing a minimum post number before links can be inserted? (I've seen that done on other forums, although I think they were phpBB not MyBB).
To stop the next logical step of them just adding dud posts until the number is reached, could the under "X" post scripting also have a posts per day limit? That is to say, if you are under the 10 post minimum, you can only post 2 posts in 24 hours until the magic number of posts is reached.
