More often than not, they do work. At least in gathering most of the spam. There will always be some knuckleheads who defy the courtesies of the online Forums and just post their spam anywhere, but the "spam threads" do tend to corral most of it thus making it easier for the Forum mods to keep a handle on the rest.
At least from what I've seen.
In the case of B.net, the spam had such world-ending potential that they didn't create a spam thread, they created a spam sub-Forum.
We call it "The Flood"...
