Are there any ways to minimise the amount of spam which shows up?

Don't allow new members to post until they have at least 5 posts

actually I still stand by my idea to block them from posting any links until they have been a member or a certain time frame, or until they meet a post requirement.

It's hard to spam if you can't direct people to your spam pages...

I also think moderators should have a "antispam" button that both banns a spammer, and redirects them to something unpleasant. like a page of infinite popups...

Or a message that says you've been banned for spamming, and when they click okay, it opens a page with a picture of a can of spam, that they can't get out of... (click close, and 2 more appear... etc.)

Yes, I know it's petty, it's evil, it's fun...
