I'm having trouble blocking paid posters trying to post links to products unrelated to "fashion" on my site. I've made my links nofollow but they're still being posted. What techniques can I use to combat this?

Currently, I delete the posts and am building a way for community members to flag and remove spam posts. I'm also blocking IP addresses but this doesn't seem scalable since new people just crop up.

Can you not just require that any post with a hyper-link must be approved before going live? This is what I do on my site. You can catch most of the spam and let the occasional legitimate post through with a genuine link.
