Does the forum have a tool to report spam? It would seem that there would be a button or link for member to report a thread that looks like spam.
For that matter, Why not just have the thread quarantined temporarily Or marked in the summary lists as suspected spam until a moderator can get to it.
Crowd policing this is going to be much more effective addressing the problem.
It probably would be a good idea to limit the quarantine ability to members that have a certain number of posts and membership time to limit vandalism. For example, anyone can report spam. long-time members reports quarantine and mark it (for speedy filtering).
And finally setup a feature that lets members filter out suspected spam.
