I think you should have 1 completed game in order to post.

But what if you have questions about the game? Or joining a game? Where do you ask?

I'm all for ending SPAM, but let's not throw the players out in the process.

Would it be possible to disable PM abilities until a game is completed but leave the ability to post?

I just got this pm. The site it references is a known distributor of viruses and malware.

ah, at last I've got some spam. I was beginning to feel left out. It was redirecting me to www .virus-total.net/detected/freduk. does that mean he's prepared my own customised virus for me? How sweet!
