Likely discussed before but isn’t there a way to require a valid email address in addition to requiring some interesting information which would be difficult to fake before granting an account the ability to post?
Isn’t there a way to revoke somebody’s access after posting nonsense?
This isn’t exactly a usenet group so wouldn’t it be fairly straight forward to stop the nike shoe tiger woods madness?
It’s not the end of the world but does seem to be getting a bit more frequent.
They (Moderators) actually get on the forum once or twice a day and remove the garbage. It is a never ending job. It’s very difficult to balance security and access on a forum attached to a business. PHP allows some good security management to help prevent spamming, but since Moog doesn’t even implement the easy stuff like new posts in a thread and correctly operating search function, setting up those measures is not likely.

Maybe Amos can put in a good word with the powers that be to nominate a couple of moderators?
