Spam seems to be a neverending problem on any forum, and lately on this one. I've been trying to delete some spam posts if I find them.

But I think we also need an effort from members to not respond to spam posts. I go to a post and see a spam message, and then immediately following it is a post by someone either telling the person not to spam or saying something about the spam post. If this happens, it is then irrelevant to delete the spam post because people are then discussing it. So think about what you are responding, don't respond to the spammer. Not only will they not get any attention from what they are doing, but we will be able to delete the post.

Perhaps I will start deleting any posts and posts telling people not to spam in future. As they are all as bad as each other.

There is also an option to disable post counts all together from any forum. But it probably wouldn't work as people might use it as a free will to be able to spam, and also intelligent discussion posts would not be counted.
