Can you write a program to identify all those posts and exclude them in the post or the activity count?

If could do that I wouldn't be moderating, I would be working on the next google.

Auctions (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=73.0), since bid posts contribute nothing. Maybe even include all the "listing" sections such as goods, services, currency exchange.

Auctions is a good choice. But, goods, services & currency exchange have lots of constructive discussions.

Like what? What's pretty much there:

bumps
"be sure to use escrow"
"scammer!!!1!"
"sale went smoothly"
questions related to transaction (who goes first, escrow, counter offers, etc.)
people asking for vouch copies (in digital goods)
sig spammers asking questions but have no intentions of buying

1) That is acceptable post quality, mods don't/won't care about those, might be temp-ban worthy , but with BB gone and theymos not indulging in banning users, I don't see temp-ban being an option.

Temp bans are still being issued by certain global moderators.

Ok thought Bit-x wasn't paying people for spamming Press, but apparently it is ,and one guy has spammed all of his 400 last posts(threads, copy pasted) in that board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=28364

Some users that should be kept in mind, have started spamming several threads in a (very)small amount of time:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=100430;sa=showPosts
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=103397;sa=showPosts;start=0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=183724;sa=showPosts

They're not so bad. It seems like it was a one-off thing. I sent them all a warning though.

I applied a ban on the account to prevent any misuse. Once it's resolved, PM me with a signed message saying so, and I will lift the ban. In the meanwhile, send a PM to theymos and badbear according to this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.msg5473531;topicseen#msg5473531

Some more guys who are starting to think of it as easy money:
1) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=100430;sa=showPosts (A warning might be enough)
2) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=387580;sa=showPosts (possibly banned already)
3) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=525057;sa=showPosts (possibly banned as well)
4) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=219879;sa=showPosts (nearly all posts are press post, possibly farming his pot activity)

Erm, you meant 'handling' right? Still see some posts by the users in the Press board. Nonetheless, is it established now that doing copy-paste from BTC news website, highly frequently will not be accepted?

P.S: There are lots of other users in the Press board, who now seem to have picked this for easy money

handled as in, banned. I was in the process of banning a few more. I will trashcan the topics made by the offending users soon.

"Suspected spammers"/bots are :
1) hendra147 , with post frequency going up to 1 topic every minute.
2) klm bitcoin , with post frequency going upto 1 topic every 30 seconds.
3) shane a guy who probably finds it hilarious to spam the shit out of the press board. Just a page, for example:
http://snag.gy/LeALt.jpg
4) a7mos a person who is quite a bit on the spammy side
