With captcha one of the problem is if you try to use better Captcha- it is hard to read, so you need to give some solution to reload the image. For human spammers you can set rule that a new member can only post urls once they've made X number of posts or they have been active for Y days, you can also scrutinize them by limiting the rights of new members. Also you need to add more moderators to keep watch on human spammers.
