As it is quite infrequent, the chances are that it is a human scumbag. Is there anything common to the spam posts that you can see? What about looking for that prior to the post being added. If you find it, then set a flag in the database next to that post and record the IP address of whoever made it. Then, if someone visits with that IP address, show them the post as if there was no problem, but only to that IP, giving you a chance of verifying the legitimacy of the post before it goes live to everyone.
