Increasing Spam and junk email attacks on Subsim?

Is it just me or have other people noticed a lot more spam and junk mail threads posted on the forums? I can't recall this being the case a year or two ago. Either back then the moderators were super quick to jump on them and delete such posts or back then Subsim was never a victim of such irritating and downright despicable online behaviour.

This is the kind of stuff that I have seen with ever increasing regularity here:

Is there anything that we can do to prevent this or is it just a case of the mods deleting such new thread posts as soon as possible once they appear?
