Yes - and the Indian stuff seems new, though by the 88 crew.

You've likely thought of this, but as has happened at other sites, perhaps a delay of a day or more could be required before a submission. Combine this with the requirement for an email address and confirmation by email. This would require additional planning/hassle for the spammers.

    Or get people with lower karma to correctly answer a calculation. If you don't answer it correctly, your message is frozen for x hours before you get to try again. And the lower your karma is, the longer the calculation has to be. A minor annoyance for someone posting one message, but it could add up for people trying to plaster the place with garbage.

      Yeah, that's true. Maybe as an image file with the numbers skewed or something?

      That's in place for registering and posting, but not for voting
