I tend to validate posts about once a day but I use this slow forum page thing where you can ban the people spamming so if its older than showing up on the recent posts then it can get lost in the post turn over. We have a faster way but we cant ban the spam users. So today I went through that one and sorted them all out. I guess I need to hit the faster method at the end of the slow process. We do get a lot of spam and if you had all of the posts issued and no moderation then there would be no forum here to speak of at all. This forum software is garbage, particularly at sorting out real user logins and filtering out by IP.
