Getting back to spam the other forum I mentioned has well over 100,000 members and a large group of moderators to share the load.
My initial posts were moderated very quickly.
I do not consider the system harsh but sensible.
You would not want people on this forum endelessly asking what type of Pentax lithium battery fits a K5, when they can look it up in the manual or check on the Pentax website.
But if they want to ask members' views on compatible batteries that is obviously o.k.
I wish I had a pound for every time the question about non OEM batteries is raised

Well - we get people joining (usually in the middle of the night) and then either posting 'gobbledegook' or a long 'spiel' trying to flog clothing or whatever.
Someone points this out, a moderator comes along and the person is banned and the posts removed.
With this other system, the problem is removed at source and nobody finds themselves starting to read spam.

On another American forum that I have just joined (nothing to do with photography) they have fairly elaborate procedures in place to ensure that nobody joins in order to post spam.
All initial posts have to checked by a moderator, before they appear on the forum.
All initial posts are checked for content, so if someone asks an obvious question such as what battery does a K5 use or posts something about the weather, these posts don't make it onto the forum.
Perhaps Pentax User should have something similar :

Whilst researching the complex topic of rechargeable lithium batteries (18650) I stumbled across websites and forums for electronic cigarettes

No need for any name change IMHO.

Very impressive.
I rather like No. 2 because the buildings are unnaturally close together
