I get the impression that the people posting spam are actually humans
going through the process relatively manually.

I would rather see an interim solution of having "flag as spam" links
on every diary page (and in the RSS) and then a bunch of moderators to
take care of heavily-flagged items. I volunteer to be one of these
moderators.

This involves some work on the website, but it's free (money wise at
least) and the best solution I see for the post/spam volume we have.
