Would there be any point in introducing automated moderation?
The obvious one is to disallow any swearing etc, but that's always hard and there'll always be some cnut who just swaps letters around...
A potential solution for multiple postings is to do a search against the forums using the new post. Seems like all the infrastructure is there to be able to do that, and then you could show a page of potentially similar/useful threads with an option at the bottom to continue with the option of submitting the new thread or not.
You could even pass this search off to google and include those results too - I often do a search on a few forums and google before I post anywhere.
