Isk spammers hit the forums at an extremely rapid rate, at least one new topic per minute it seems. I propose that the forums be changed to allow each account to open only one new topic per 10 minutes.

Agreed. I don't want to see these forums hit by topic spammers or keyloggers or whatever these guys are trying to achieve.
Perhaps they are creating topics on trial accounts - if so, that should also be banned.

These are paid accounts... trials can only post in New Player or whatever that section is called
----
a reply which adds nothing to a thread or results in a thread being bumped with no new discussion worthy content is considered spam and as such warrants a forum ban |

slowing them down helps the situation a lot, and it's really all one can hope for, for so long as people are able to post links. Next CSM meeting I'll write up this issue as a proposal, unless something new comes along before the meeting that solves the problem. I have some questions about the subject of billing though, before anything gets written into stone.
1. They say these paid accounts to spam forums are fraud credit cards, yes?
2. How many days usually passes before a fraud account is opened and CCP realizes it's fake(assuming it doesn't get itself banned first)?
3. Is there any way a legitimate purchaser can supply supporting documents to end this period of time early?
also I hate CAPTCHAs, and I really would like to find a solution that doesn't involve them.

This seems like the best solution to the problem in the short term. I'll give it a hearty "ugh", because it'll start to impede legitimate players, but it's about the best option I've seen.

I cant quite see any normal player NEEDING to open a new topic more than every 10 minutes, so wouldn't affect normal forum functions. If its not a bot, the person doing it is going to get real bored real fast. (always a plus)
Also, wouldn't an IP ban, or even batter a MAC ban, be a reasonable solution to caught isk sellers? (i say sellers because i know a friend in WOW whos account was hacked and used for gold spamming by the hacker)

Agreed; for legitimate posters it's a price worth paying I think.

Speak for yourself. 
More seriously, make sure the limit isn't too draconian. Someone might legitimately want to make two new topics inside an hour.
