It is not as time consuming as approving all members when they join. Often, folks join and don't post for months. But the first time they do, yes I have to go through a minor hassle. Sometimes their posts have to wait a few days until I can get to it, but after that it is smooth sailing and the groups are spam free. Perhaps you may make a few other trusted folks moderators and do it that way. If you can't do what needs to be done all by yourself, share and delegate.

Honestly, it took about 10 seconds for me to delete and block the 
offending posters.  It truly isn't that terrible or intrusive.
