spam stopping idea

So recently CD has been getting hit harder then normal (from my view atleast) with spammers. While the mods always do a great job at getting the threads very fast I was trying to think of ways to minimize spam. I know that the latest version of vBulletin has word verification built into it. So I was wondering if it was possible that for a member's first 10 or so posts they would have to do the word verification. It wouldn't be that much of a hassle for real new members but might significantly cut down on the amount of 1-2 post new member spam. I am not sure how easy this would be to implement so I leave this idea out there for you programming types.
