Well, that's true, but we are not really looking for another Q&A, where a precise answer is required. We already have 2 Q&A, this is just a custom profile field to see if the answer makes sense. They could answer "I dunno" or ""Not sure" and still be ok. With the two Q&A as mentioned above, I think it's enough of a hurdle for real new members to jump

All of these problem solving anti-spam measures like questions, captchas etc ... will only stop bots. They will not stop human spammers. For human spam you need entirely different anti-spam measures.

Fair enough. I'm sure the turds who manage the spam factories read these forums. I know I read theirs. Maybe it would be better for you not to write this in public.
