Perhaps periodically changing the login and/or posting process (perhaps in subtle ways) might be enough to temporarily "trip up" robospammers (i.e. it''ll stop the posts until the party behind the robospamming realize it has stopped working, examine the problem and then change up the scripting to adapt to the change).
I suppose another measure is to institute a posting limit -- e.g. where you can only post X number of posts in a given time span. Though could be irritating to some users, it should help to reduce the volume of robospam (from a single login).

When looking at my notifications..it said I was not authorized to look at the Courage class page. It is no longer in the Star Trek page. Did it drop off the page?
