i just had an idea to do with the spam that seems to pop up alot, the accounts are created same-day probably using some automated technology or another.

perhaps if a 24-hour 'probation' period were introduced between registering and being able to make forum posts would help?
 
The only problem with that is when you get impatient people like me who want help now, they'll get fed up with waiting and try a different forum.

This. When people register they generally don't want to wait a day before they post. If they have to then in all likelihood they'll end up going elsewhere.
 
just make people do a captcha thing the first couple of posts they make. And maybe make people with negative rep do this as well
