It seems we've been getting a bit of spam in the forums lately. Is there a way to cause users with fewer than n posts to have to pass a Captcha test before the post goes through? (Actually, I'm not sure if those were real people behind the spam, this time...in that case the Captcha wouldn't really help.)

Also, the one post per 47 seconds appears to apply equally to making posts and reporting bad posts—I guess those go to a hidden forum somewhere, but it is a (small) annoyance to have to wait 47 s to reply with "reported" after you make the report. Or, is it possible to add a checkbox option to the report-a-post page to create a response to the OP with the text "reported"?

I realize that some of this stuff constitutes a pretty diminished return, for the amount of work it entails, so if it doesn't appear, I won't be that disappointed.
