Thank you both. I had forgotten about the configuration settings for Confirm 
Edit which I do have installed.They also had the code for "check for new 
links", so I'll look at it if I go that route.
For now I just changed the capctcha to a slightly more difficult one, in 
ConfirmEdit.

You can configure AbuseFilter for that, or use ConfirmEdit to force them 
solve a captcha when adding links.
