I think that's the case. Which is why I think it's not worth doing,
as we would just make it harder on most real users, while not detracting
any of the spammers. Moreover it will add additional maintenance
burden on our part to keep the captchas operational.

Yes, this would be horrible. I think it's easier on everybody
to just delete things after the fact, as it happens now.
