My bad if I missed a reply to this but in late 2013 when i joined the team and created a CD account a moderator didn't have too as far as I can remember. Though when creating a new account there is a text box where you put a person's username; that person would be some one who recommended CD to you.(Not sure if it is needed to put one in the text box but it is easy to copy some one's username in a thread.)
As of a solution what if each person's first self made thread would have to go through the moderators before being posted. It would help if it were just spam, if it was an actual thread though the moderators would have to be quick in checking these posts in case they were important. Also can these spammers just make new threads? Or could they post in random threads? Otherwise the moderators might be getting a lot more emails if they can randomly post in these threads.
Plus I want to add if you do find a spam thread don't post in them. Just report. Otherwise the post will stay on for longer unless/until removed.
