Wow, Great! So, we don't need to worry about the clever spammer any more.

I don't know what do you think about this, Yumi:

Automatically unapproved the spam post/thread.

It seems that your "algorithm" (I don't know how to say it ) works and 100% accurate to detect a spam post/thread (at least in this forum). So, I think it is better if the plugin unapproved the spam post/thread automatically when the spammer submit/edit their thread/post. So, the post/thread won't be visible for search engine and/or regular users, if there is no moderators or admin logged in at that time. Later, when there is a moderator or admin log in, they can review the post/thread.
