As an extra service, you could point those people to some truth.

How can you tell if someone's spamming or just batshit insane?

what? If you receive unsolicited messages on the forum they're spam. Either way it's better to remove (access to) the account in question.

yes, the latest was rather about unsolicited forum private messages, but there are several ways a spammer can use to advertize (with certain URLs):
  • Forum Accounts with zero posts but with certain keywords/interests
  • Forum Signatures
  • New forum threads (spammers try to post in various sub forums)
  • Posts in threads which have nothing to do with the topic (ie, those recent hello new user)
  • Private Messages (PMs) on the forum
  • Site Account Profiles/blog posts
