It is easier to delete spam than verify every account, it's just a case of whether you want some of the posting seen on the forum, especially to younger eyes.
If the mods/admin get to it quick enough, then fair enough, but if not, then either you need more mods, you just accept it, or you verify every account.
I'm an admin on a forum, but the numbers have dwindled, so no longer practical to be on there as much as I was as posting has seriously dropped, so I verify every account. That may possibly be one of the problems as genuine users aren't getting onto the forum as quick as they'd like and maybe not coming back, but I check twice daily, and at the end of the day, it's the gamble you take, as suffered from spam attacks in the past.
