We have a Captcha system in place, but unfortunately Captcha and reCaptcha are both compromised, as far as I can tell.  Considering that this was written back in 2004 I'm sure there's far more sophisticated methods around to get through them by now.

Would we be able to at least disable new thread creation before something like 5 or 10 posts? Granted, a lot of bots seem to post in existing threads, but it's an option nonetheless.

Spam threads are getting removed efficiently, though, so you don't really suffer.  In any case, more than half of them are created in the Hi I'm New  forum, for some reason.

Also there is a thriving industry of "Human Captcha Breakers". Basically people in India and other places are paid to sit at home and break captchas all day long.
