Require new accounts to receive at least some positive reputation before they're allowed to create a new thread, which is where most spam goes.
I disagree. I made my CD account specifically to ask a time-sensitive question during the build season. There is no way that I would have even bothered if I had had to weigh in on other discussions and wait for someone nice to give me rep points. I had, in fact, searched through CD several times, and my question hadn't been asked.

OK, if image verification or IP blacklisting won't work, why not ask a FIRST related question. For example, what was the 2011 game name? Or, Which country are 1114 and 2056 located in? Or, what is one FRC supported programming language?
I didn't learn about 1114 and 2056 until the end of the 3rd year on my team. "Common knowledge" on CD is, quite frankly, not common knowledge for a lot of students/mentors out there.
