Do you know what the 'Enable content moderation' setting does? 

If this just moderates all new questions, perhaps we could do this?
Then, their spam wouldn't ever get out of the moderation queue at all. 

It's not fully clear to me what it does tho... 

I'd prefer to avoid recapcha, or askimet if we can... if we must tho,
askimet is already in, so it would be much easier to enable it seems
