If that's a possible option...

I'm a mod on another forum and that's how our shoutbox works. In order to chat in the SB a member needs to make 50 posts (yeah our admin is harsh) and needs to have gained some respect around the forum. We also have sections of the board that are hidden (like sections that deal with more adult topics for example), that are only viewable (is that a word?) when a member makes 150 posts and is over the age of 18. It's a smaller forum than MB, and spam occasionally comes through in waves. It's horrible. I know how hard the mods here work to clean up spam and ban trolls.
