 2/ Spam is high. How can we help?

I know there are all kinds of tools for trying to control spam (captchas, etc.) but
these haven't worked well in the past. I don't think there's any way we can go
back to automatic user account creation - it just allows too much spam.

Clearly, we are target of a bot. Antibot pretends to be able to fight XRumer.

At the moment, I'm thinking that perhaps having a moderation queue for
new user accounts fronted by some basic OpenSimulator questions

What about moderating the first edit and whitelist? It's far more difficult for a bot to submit a relevant edit than decide if opensim is a cat or a server.
