How about using a method called reCAPTCHA when he/she creates an account? That will be better.

I'm pretty sure they already use something like that. Censoring links for low level accounts could work too.

What?

So, what should we do to stop them?

Disabling to create a link for lower level users are good enough.

They don't want to give up.

The better method is:

To convert the advertising topic on a board to a running text or moving them to a specific board.

I think most advertisers are just normal people. They'd have no difficulty getting around a CAPTCHA.
