I mean, even if they are new members, if they don't know stuff like that, it maybe it's time they do a Google search and learn it.
If a new member can do a search and learn it, so can a spammer. As I recall, there IS such a question (having to do with a core value of FIRST) already.


Captcha? Check.
FIRST-related question? Check.
Auto-moderator/quarantine? Check.

Anybody got any other ideas? BTW, these were all implemented either early on or after a particularly vicious spam attack.
