banning accounts upon key words/phrases

I just imagine this happening to me and being frustrated as hell. I'd rather we the mods be a little frustrated with spam than impact new members of the community.

Well i was trying to make it less work on you guys. We currently have 2-3 spam posts a day. But our database is no where near as the old forum, and we are not yet ranked as #1 on google. I was assuming that when we are back on top of the rank search, that the spam would increase drastically. If we are getting 2-3 now, it would not surprise me to get 30+ a day later, if not more. 

I was trying to prevent the first post lock as we did in the past forum. To be honest i didnt really like that alternative. This seemed like a good alternative. 

But if everyone would rather take care of it manually....then that is what will happen.
