The goal is to get these spammers to give up pretty much instantly after seeing how efficiently spam will be handled.

Also spam attracts spam, some subs where mod(s) is(are) inactive are flooded with spammers, if we can stop them in the /all/new queue, they will certainly give up.

I don't say it will get rid of 100% of spam, but it will drastically reduce it.

I understand that. But I think it would be more effective to ban their domains than only their accounts, because accounts are easier to replace.

Domains would still have to be reviewed by Putt.

Some spammers are playing smart and use legit domains to hide their links.

Preventing new accounts from commenting before posting a defined amount of posts, will prevent them to hide in comments of busy threads.
