I have pondered about a system of moderating stuff at vim.org
(I was thinking of a system that tells a new user they can't
create more than two scripts or two uploads for two days, or
until approved ... and some other complications).

But in reality, there is not enough spam to warrant any messing
around. The last spam I deleted was script 4108 last June, and
Bram just deleted 4233, so that's pretty infrequent, and in both
cases the spam did not last long.
