This is being discussed in the Cleaning-Up Spam thread so I figured I would make this a proper suggestion.
If XenForo uses a collaborative, centralised spam database where we can submit users of our forum for analysis (IP check of a blacklist, e-mail check) and report a user (submit their IP and e-mail for analysis, if it meets a criteria add them to blacklist) we could create a very efficient spam database that is tweaked and suited to everyone from XenForo. This database would make people feel like they are participating in XenForo and it can work in conjunction with the Spam Cleanup function that is already built in.
Another option could be to have automated spam checks on the forums (which you can opt out of) which basically just scans the forum for any suspicious spam-like activity (such as having links in profile fields, having >X links in a post, etc).

P.S: Like the post if you agree - new prioritising method
