One of the channels on IRC is  where, as you mentioned, you can report things to VSTF more real-time. But there are more channels in Wikia's network of channels than just, such as: I suppose the last one might be of interest to you. It does get false positives rather often, but it still catches a lot of spam. The first channel is very useful for catching vandalism, but I suppose that isn't your primary field of focus. :P
 * — live feed of various suspicious edits across Wikia
 * — feed of new user account creations on Wikia
 * — feed of image uploads
 * — feed of new wikis
 * — feed of all Discussions posts
 * — feed of possible spam

You can join it through the Freenode webchat or (a bit more complicated to set up but looking way better) IRCCloud.
