Stop allowing trial account characters to post links in local and npc-corporation corp channels. Then the spammers will need to activate the account before they can start spamming, or they will face CSPA protection. Either way, they will go broke in minutes.
If the trial character will try to post a link where it would be blocked, the Eve client would display a notification window, stating that the player may not post a link there before he activates his account and informing him that he can pass a link by opening a private converstation with a player he wants to send a link to, or he can send it via evemail.
That way, We ensure no pilots will be harmed, only the new players who would insist on sending a link to large amount of people (sounds like a description of spammer to me).
This issue has been "kinda" brought to CSM over a year ago here, by pilot named Adonis 4174, who said:

They should be able to lock down channels so that you can't post urls for a time.
Pilot named Tarminic then replied:

Useless. ISK sellers go from: CHEAPEST ISK WWW.ASSHAT.COM to CHEAPEST ISK AT WWW DOT ASSHAT DOT COM
And I agree, however "WWW DOT ASSHAT DOT COM" is not clickable, so it is much less effective for spammers.
I also believe CCP devs and QA will make sure that replacing a dot with something will be impossible or extreamly hard (so also extreamly ineffective for spammers!).

While this solution is not perfect nor fool proof.
It will make things a little more difficult for the jerks.
Supported Emphatically.
